In Response To: Re: Columbia, MO prisoners ()

Thank you so much for the information. I have a few questions I hope you can answer. I am not very knowledgeable about the Civil War. Would this Benjamin and James P. Harmon have been Union or Confederate? It says they were arrested for aiding the enemy and then had to swear an allegiance. Would they then have been let go? Is there a way to tell if they were in the military or just civilians that were arrested? Thanks.
