The “liberated” goods were never used to support the Confederacy. These men were essentially outlaws who stole from everyone, their sympathies notwithstanding. One person, mentioned in this thread, “Captain” John T Williams (my ggguncle) was a deserter from the original 5th Ky. He operated out of safe areas like Hazel Green and appeared to be a fence for these men. He smuggled the loot across the Ohio River for sale, pocketing the proceeds. I found a newspaper accound where Sid Cook disparaged this self appointed captain as a coward when he once accompanied Cook on one of his raids.
These bands of outlaws took advantage of the CSA passage of a Partisan Act in 1862 as cover for criminality. In 1864, after outcry from Southern citizens themselves debauched by these groups and regular CSA military commanders decrying them as militarily useless outlaws, the partisan act was repealed. The officers and men were ordered to report for service in the regular forces, but almost none did. Only Moseby’s Partisan Rangers and another Virginia unit were in exempted.

I have more than a half dozen direct ancestors and their brothers who served with these outlaw bands. Several of them continued their banditry after the rebellion was defeated.
