Quantrill's Raids

Years: 1861 - 1865

Quantrill's Raiders are a loosely organized force of pro-Confederate bushwhackers who fight in the American Civil War under the leadership of William Clarke Quantrill.

The name "Quantrill's Raiders" seems to have been attached to them long after the war, when the veterans hold reunions.

“Let us study things that are no more. It is necessary to know them, if only to avoid them. The counterfeits of the past assume false names, and gladly call themselves the future. Let us inform ourselves of the trap. Let us be on our guard. The past has a visage, superstition, and a mask, hypocrisy. Let us denounce the visage and let us tear off the mask."

― Victor Hugo, Les Misérables (1862)
