Quantrill's Raiders
Quantrill's Raiders were a group of Confederate bushwhackers who followed and fought under William Clarke Quantrill, an Ohio schoolteacher who relocated to Kansas and transformed a motley group of Southern-sympathizing farmers and townsmen living behind Union lines into one of the Confederacy's most effective and electric guerrilla units. The name "Quantrill's Raiders" seems to have been attached to the group long after the war; indeed, the members would later have reunions under that name.
