There is very good evidence that some of the Unionist and Abolitionist in Texas poisoned wells, and did some acts of sabotage.
If that is the case, then hanging them would have been justified.

I think there's a difference in poisoning wells and bridge burning. I don't think many people on either side would have a great deal of sympathy with poisoning water.
But I admire the bravery of Unionist bridge burners. That's just an expression of patriotism and loyalty to the Stars and Stripes.
