Bands of guerrillas. Hmmmm. Maybe Milroy had a point afterall.

Are you blind, capitan, or just plain dumb? That order was from Virginia in 1862. Milroy's murders of all those civilians were in Tennessee in 1865.

There were southern guerrilas in the war zones. Throughout the war! You continue to deny the undeniable.

Some were open and used names like the "Partisan Rangers." Others were irregular bands of rebel deserters, bushwhackers, and other criminals. Some were simply psychopaths.

I don't know why would deny they exited. Your compatriots glorify their history. See here: http://www.geocities.com/mosouthron/partisans/
