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.
