The tradition of expertise in partisan warfare had a significant impact on the Civil War. Daring raiders from both the North and South struck deep into the heart of enemy territory, capturing high-ranking officers, hijacking locomotives and gaining control of essential rail line plus obtaining strategic information from networks of spies and co-conspirators. The use of special forces by both sides opened a new and impressive chapter in America’s military history.
