Burning Courthouses

I've recently became quite interested to find the reason(s) for the great interest in burning the courthouses. Does anyone have any definite answers on this matter? Is there any documentation defining the reason(s)? ...and I'm assuming that the opposition was always in control of the courthouse that was burned...
