The Confederate armed forces, despite individual depredations, didn’t target innocent civilians and didn’t necessarily believe that God (or the Bible) told ‘em to participate in secession.

This Pennsylvania Yankee would tend to agree with that statement, but there was some rough-fighting on between Kansas and Missouri both before, during & after the official dates of the Civil War. Looked pretty much like organized terrorist attacks by today's standards.

Excellent point.

I did forget about the guerilla wars in Kansas and Missouri during that time.

TY for reminding me!
