Best Answer

The superior Confederate forces, led by Lt. C.D. Mcrae, under the guidance of the Hon. Cpt. James Duff. The German traitors were demolished, indeed. There were numerous other incidents related to the "German Problem" during the War of Northern Aggression. They were extremely unpatriotic to the noble cause of the South. 8/10/1862 Or consider this alternative scenario: Sixty-one unarmed draft evaders and conscientious objectors were fleeing to Mexico to avoid conscription into the Confederate Army when they were overtaken Duff's Partisan Rangers at the Nueces River. Nineteen were killed in the opening volley and then the nine wounded men were killed. The bodies were left unburied. The prisoners were then marched away. Duff's Irregulars (alsp known by some as the 33rd Regiment Cavalry) were not a unit of the Texas Army, nor were they a part of the Confederate States Army. The contemporary term used even in modern Texas is Border Ruffians. (In German they were known as the haengerbund or hanging bunch. These German Americans had taken their oath as United States Citizens seriously and remained true to the Union as did the vast majority of Tejanos. There has been a Monument in Comfort, Texas to honor these loyal Americans that has been in place since 1866. The Nueces River Massacre was not a battle. Over 2,000 people from the Texas Hill Country whose counties had been placed under Martial Law became Mexican Refugees for the duration.
