During the US Civil War, the best known spies were working for the Confederacy. Among them were Belle Starr, Nancy Hart, Belle Boyd and Rose O'Neal Greenhow. To a certain degree espionage was not a serious problem for the North. Generally speaking, the South received most of the North's battle plans from Northern newspapers. And, few will depute that President Lincoln often told his son about military operations in advance, and on more than one occasion he leaked this information to the Northern press.
