Skirmishes are small fights, sometimes inconclusive. Confederate guerillas were men like William Quantrill, Jesse James, and Cole Younger who fought guerrilla warfare against the Union Army without actually being part of the Confederate Army. They were unable to fight battles, so they fought a succession of hit and run skirmishes to wear down the Union Army.
