Can you identify any unit in the PACSA that fought as part of the Army of Northern Virginia or the Army of Tennessee? It was my understaning that PACSA designations were given to bands like Quantrill's mob to give them some protection if they were captured. Protection not afforded the civilians in Lawrence BTW.
sorry, wrong answer!
the PACSA was NEVER more than a few thousand (during most of the war it numbered about 3,000 men total- after the war was won, there was a plan to have about 20-25,000 regulars & a large reserve force of state, local & privately-raised troops.of course the plan was never completed, as we lost our war for independence.) men- mostly senior NCOs & senior commissioned officers.
the 4th MO Partisan Rangers, led by COL Quantrell, were MO state militia & were never part of the PACSA.
