They echo modern headlines?a shadowy underground organization orchestrating plans to bring down the government; bands of saboteurs slipping in from Canada to attempt coordinated acts of destruction; plans to poison water supplies and spread deadly diseases among the urban populace?but these and similar incidents were part of a Confederate strategy to wreak ?terror and consternation? upon the North during the Civil War.
