Best Answer

The largest guerrilla operation of the US Civil War took place in Kansas in 1863. The Confederate led guerrillas numbering almost 500 men raided Lawrence, Kansas. 150 civilian deaths were the terrible results. The guerrillas then escaped into Missouri, avoiding Union troops that were planning to pursue them.

It is a civil war. If you engage in war to overthrow the current government, it's called a revolutionary war. If it's a war between people in the same country, it's called a civil war.
