Atrocities were committed by each side during the US Civil War, many times the victims were slaves or Native Americans. Some involved prisoner of war camps also on each side. One incident that blemished the Southern cause was the raid led by William Clarke Quantrill in August of 1863. He led 450 Confederate and Missouri guerrillas into Lawrence Kansas. The victims were unsuspecting anti-slavery and pro-Union men. The raiders killed 150 men and boys, only the women were spared. The town was sacked and burned and 1/2 million dollars in losses were incurred.
There were root causes for this raid that went back to "Bleeding Kansas" in the 1850's.

The Battle of Lawrence was an attack by Quantrill's raiders, led by William Clark Quantrill, on the anti-slavery town of Lawrence, Kansas, a raid also known as the Lawrence Massacre. By 1863, Kansas had long been the home of strife and warfare, from both sides of the slavery versus Free State issue. In the summer of 1856, the first sacking of Lawrence sparked a guerrilla war in Kansas that was conducted for months. John Brown might be the best known, but numerous groups fought for each side in Bleeding Kansas. Lawrence, Kansas had, by the beginning of the American Civil War, already become the target for pro-slavery ire, having been seen as the anti-slavery stronghold in the state. In a bid to put down the Confederate raiders operating in Kansas, General Thomas Ewing, Jr. issued General Order No. 10, ordering the arrest of anyone giving aid or comfort to Quantrill's raiders. This meant chiefly women and children. Ewing confined those arrested in a make-shift prison in Kansas City. This building collapsed, killing four women. There was debate as to the nature of this collapse, with some claiming it was a deliberate attack on women and children, and others claiming it was merely a tragic accident. Citing as well an attack on Osceola, Missouri, the raiders worked themselves into a fury. Leading between three and four hundred raiders into the town, Quantrill started a four-hour session of pillaging, murder, and bloodshed. By the time they rode out of town, one in four buildings in Lawrence had been burnt to the ground, including all but two businesses. As well, most of the banks and stores had been looted. Left behind were between 185 and 200 dead men and boys. By 9 a.m., they were on their way out of town, evading the few units that came in pursuit. The Battle of Lawrence was one of the bloodiest attacks in the whole history of Kansas. A day after the attack, the citizens of Lawrence lynched a member of Quantrill's Raiders caught in the town. On August 25, General Ewing authorized General Order No. 11 (not to be confused with Grant's more famous General Order of the same name) evicting thousands of Missourians from their homes near the Kansas border.
