  Derek Frisby of Middle Tennessee State University in Murfreesboro, is the August, 2008 speaker for the Clarksville Civil War Roundtable.
  
  The Union Army found, after taking West Tennessee, the most secessionist element of the state, that it was much easier to conquer than it was to hold.With guerrilla war, cavalry raids and other pesky Confederates forcing an already thin occupation force to spread out even more, the Union turned to raising Unionist regiments from that area.Sometimes dubious in quality, while solving the manpower problem to some degree, these men also brought along a hatred of secessionsists and often used their position to seek revenge for assaults on families and themselves.This brought an even nastier Civil War than was already being waged with the end result being a hatred in the region for many years after the war.
