The Fishing Creek Confederacy
from The American Narrative: Histories of a Nation · host Discover America
During the summer of 1864, hundreds of Confederate sympathizers had allegedly constructed a fortress deep within the mountains of Columbia County, Pennsylvania. Nearly 1,000 Union soldiers scoured the forested landscape looking for these perpetrators. However, there was no Confederate stronghold, rather a larger conspiracy that inflamed tensions along the home front. This is a story of political repression, armed draft resistance, and a murder that sent the Keystone State reeling. This is the Fishing Creek Confederacy.
