  • General Order No. 11 (1863)
rdfs:comment
  • While intended to deprive pro-Confederate guerrillas of material support from the rural countryside, the severity of the Order's provisions and the nature of its enforcement alienated vast numbers of civilians, and ultimately led to conditions in which the Rebel forces actually found themselves with even greater access to supplies than before.[citation needed] It was repealed in January 1864, as a new general took command of Union forces in the region.
