    The Civil War is best remembered for the big battles and the legendary generals who fought on both sides, like Robert E. Lee facing off against Ulysses S. Grant in 1864. In kind, the Eastern Theater has always drawn more interest and attention than the West. However, while massive armies marched around the country fighting each other, there were other small guerrilla groups that engaged in irregular warfare on the margins, and perhaps the most famous of them was led by Colonel John Mosby. Mosby, the “Gray Ghost” of the Confederate lore that celebrates the Lost Cause, has an image that has proven nearly impossible to corrupt or change, and time has done little good against it. Unlike the vanished 19th century code of honor that he represented, Mosby has retained the image and all its connotations. 
    Quantrill’s Raiders operated along the border between Missouri and Kansas, which had been the scene of partisan fighting over a decade earlier during the debate over whether Kansas and Nebraska would enter the Union as free states or slave states. In “Bloody Kansas”, zealous pro-slavery and anti-slavery forces fought each other, most notably John Brown, and the region became a breeding ground for individuals like Quantrill who shifted right back into similar fighting once the Civil War started. Rather than target military infrastructure or enemy soldiers, the bushwhackers rode in smaller numbers and targeted civilians on the other side of the conflict, making men like Bloody Bill Anderson and John Mosby notorious. However, none are remembered like Quantrill and his men, not only because of their deeds during the Civil War but because of the actions of some of the former Raiders after it. Quantrill is best known for raiding Lawrence, Kansas in August 1863 and slaughtering nearly 200 boys and men between the ages of 14 and 90 under the pretext that they were capable of holding a gun and thus helping the Union cause.

    Social conditioning is the process by which individuals learn and internalize the values, beliefs, and behaviors that are considered acceptable within their society. From an early age, individuals are taught what is considered “normal” by their families, communities, schools, and media. These lessons shape how people think, act, and perceive the world around them, often without conscious awareness. Social conditioning operates on a fundamental level to ensure conformity to societal norms, providing structure and predictability in behavior, but it also has profound effects on individual freedom and personal identity. 
    At its core, social conditioning involves the transmission of societal norms and expectations from one generation to the next. This transmission can occur through various channels, such as direct instruction, observation, and participation in social rituals. For example, a child may learn appropriate behavior through parental guidance, but they also learn by watching the actions of peers, teachers, and other authority figures. Over time, these external influences become internalized, and the individual’s beliefs and behaviors are shaped to align with societal expectations.
