I was also writing of the number of troops. I was also using the term "rebels" not to describe the southern soldiers, but the small packs of southern soldiers, such as Bedford Forest's band of rebels. His group of men was kept intentionally low to make it easier for them to sneak attack, and was also responsible for his reputation of no quarter, because he did not have enough men to guard captured troops, so he killed Northern troops rather than capture them. Although his native Missippians dispute that allegation.
