Abstract:
Shortly after the outbreak of the Civil War, various groups of lawbreakers populated the mountains of western North Carolina and east Tennessee. Outliers were men who were hiding in the forests to dodge conscription. As the war progressed, they were joined by groups of deserters from the army who sought to keep out of the clutches of army patrols. Deserters who returned home often became associated with other outlaws and began operating in groups known as bushwhackers. Bushwhackers would wear either Union or Confederate uniforms and raid local homes for food, clothing, livestock and other supplies.
