John Hunt Morgan led a raid into Indiana during the Civil War primarily to disrupt Union supply lines and to boost Confederate morale in the North. His goal was to draw Union forces away from the South and demonstrate that the Confederacy could strike deep into Northern territory. Additionally, Morgan aimed to recruit new soldiers for the Confederate cause and to instill fear in Northern communities. The raid, which took place in 1863, was part of a broader strategy to extend the conflict into Union states.
