In 1863 Confederate General John Hunt Morgan assembled over 2500 men and began a raid throughout Indiana & Ohio taking hundreds of prisoners. But after most of his men had been intercepted by Union gunboats, Morgan surrendered in northeast Ohio. The legendary "Morgan's Raid", which had been carried out against orders, gained no tactical advantage for the Confederacy, while the loss of his regiment proved a serious setback.
