John Hunt Morgan led a raid into Indiana during the Civil War primarily to disrupt Union supply lines and to boost Confederate morale in the North. His goal was to draw Union forces away from the South and demonstrate that the Confederacy could strike deep into Northern territory. Additionally, Morgan aimed to recruit new soldiers for the Confederate cause and to instill fear in Northern communities. The raid, which took place in 1863, was part of a broader strategy to extend the conflict into Union states.

In 1862 Kentucky remained a slave state and remained a Union border state. The Confederates were hopeful that they could recruit men there to join the South's military. They tested this idea by sending Colonel John Hunt Morgan on raiding missions. On July 4, 1862, Morgan commanded a cavalry force of 900 men and raided and captured Tomkinsville, Kentucky. During the next week he had success in a raid against Lebanon, followed by another raid at Cynthia. Union troops were aware of his raids and began a determined effort to capture Morgan and destroy his force of cavalry raiders. Traveling light, and within a large state as Kentucky was and is, Morgan was providing the Union with enough problems to stay at least one step ahead of the Federals determined to end his raids.

The Battle of Corydon is the only battle that took place in Indiana during the Civil War. A group of 2,400 Confederates were on a brief "raid" through the north mainly to divert attention away from much larger Confederate forces in Tennessee. Indiana's Harrison County Home Guard, as well as a few armed locals, set up as a blocking force and awaited the oncoming rebels. On July 9th 1863, the Confederate soldiers, led by General John Hunt Morgan, quickly flanked both ends of the Federal line and routed them while taking many prisoners. The prisoners would eventually be let go later that day but the town of Corydon was ransacked and looted to a moderate extent. The Confederates continued their "raid" northward and then eventually looped back down south and regrouped back in Tennessee.
