Quantrill's Raids
1861 CE – 1865 CE
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.
