How could Confederate agents in Canada have conducted greater and more effective raids into Northern soil during the course of the ACW, similar to but of a greater scale than on St Albans, Vermont, in Oct 1864 ? Further, how could Confederate raiders from Kentucky and Missouri have conducted more effective raids into Indiana, Illinois, Kansas and Ohio, similar to the burning and sacking of Lawrence in 1863, and possibly facilitated co-operation with the Copperheads in order to seriously threaten Union interests in the Midwest (similarly to the 'Northwest Confederacy' post earlier) ?
