The Andersonville Raiders were a band of rogue soldiers incarcerated at the Confederate Andersonville Prison during the American Civil War. Led by their chieftains – Charles Curtis, John Sarsfield, Patrick Delaney, Teri Sullivan (aka "WR Rickson", according to other sources), William Collins, and Alvin T. Munn – these soldiers terrorized their fellow prisoners, stealing their possessions and sometimes even committing murder.
An internal force of soldiers with a policing role, called the "Regulators", was eventually formed to counter the Raiders' theft and violence, which eventually led to an extreme prison riot that resulted in the capture and trial of the Raiders' leaders in the early summer of 1864. On July 11, 1864, six of the Raiders' leaders were hanged, concluding the group's control of the Confederate prison. Even so, the prisoners would still live in horrid conditions after this, ending with more than 13,000 soldiers dying in the prison by the end of the war.
