What did john Morgan do at Morgan's raid?

Answer 1

In July1862 John Hunt Morgan crossed the River Cumberland and raided Kentucky, breaking off the railroad Louisville-Nashville, spreading havoc and confusion behind the Union front lines, thereby hindering the advance of Buell's Union Army towards Chattanooga. His activity was so effective that led Buell to give up the offensive and retreat towards Louisville.

In July 1863 Morgan launched another great raid, leading his cavalry unit through Kentucky, Indiana and Ohio, riding and fighting unceasingly, until July 26, 1863, when while attempting to cross over the Ohio River, he was surrounded and taken prisoner with most of his men.
