John Mosby was on a mission to help the South with a new method in 1863. He assembled a small fighting force known as Mosby's Rangers after capturing nine soldiers. To maneuver freely and in an unforeseen manner, these individuals have split off from the conventional army. The primary goal of the organization is to sabotage communications and steal supplies from the North.

Mosby's group struck remote Confederate outposts in northern Virginia and Maryland to sever supply lines and blockade communication.
