Confederate Partisan Ranger Activity
[ send me this paper ]
A 27 page paper discussing the guerrilla warfare tactics employed by the Confederacy during the Civil War. Independent of stringent military control, most were led by men of integrity but other units used the war to indulge in theft and murder. In the end, some historians believe that partisan ranger activity prolonged the war; others believe that it could have prolonged the war to the extent that the South could have won. Whether viewed favorably or not, whether militarily effective or not, those Confederate rangers of integrity and constancy of purpose performed incalculable service for those left at home for the duration of the war. Their stories give a human touch to the history that so easily could be reduced these 130 years later to a listing of statistics and of the dates at which irrefutable changes were made in the course of the country. Bibliography lists 27 sources.
