" Rebellion Within the Rebellion: The Confederates Resisted in Georgia – 3-4 "

Somehow I managed to miss mention of the Shelton Laurel Massacre, in western North Carolina, on January 18.
It was clearly not a general rebellion against the Confederacy, though the locals were Unionists.
Rather, their problem was lack of salt for curing meat and that was a very serious matter.

Both the number of such massacres and the numbers killed were relatively small in the Civil War, compared to most any other war.
Still, they deserve to be remembered & commented on, so I'll construct a table similar to the state battles to track them.
