This thread is a branch-off from this ongoing discussion; No quarter giving by Union Guerilla Militia Regiments | South & Western Theaters | Page 3 (civilwartalk.com)
After reading these pages, I get the impression that the States with the weakest political establishment under Union authority had the most severe cases of outright horrors visited upon them. Missouri was weak and fractured politically. Kansas was unstable; Arkansas was a see-saw; Kentucky was a swipe; and Maryland was stepped on. Does this prove a strong central Government, whether State of Union is necessary?
