Military actions after the Civil War's end?

[WNY_Whitetailer]

This question was brought about due to the way that the situation is unfolding in Iraq with insurgents attacking US troops as I write this post.

Was there any evidence of this type of activity after the end of the Civil War?  I was curious if there were rogue bands of Rebs or Yanks attacking the other after the end of hostilities?  It is not something that would probably be found in history books you read in school.

Let me know what you know...

You had Jesse and his brother Frank in Missouri.  I believe they technically felt (at least at the start) they were still fighting the war.    Some of John Wesley Hardin's early violence was directed at occupying forces and former slaves as well.

Certainly, I think, all wars show some amount of resistance( I doan know how to spell guerilla ) by the loosing side, after the conflict has been decided.
I know that it took armed forces is the south to enforce the changes demanded by the federal government. This led to carpetbagging.
Well, on that thought, all winners put "carpetbaggers" into place to insure a speedy transform of policy. We did it in Japan and Germany and deemed it "OK" cause it was the right thing to do. Ol GW Patton got into a heap of trouble by letting the Germans back into power too soon after the war. Those put in place by the government would well seem to be carpetbaggers in the South, but it was ok for us since we won.
I know there was a good deal of resistance in the Neueces strip after the war--but them folks was outlaws.

speaking of John Wesley Hardin--the son of a preacher-man--His first taking of human life was accomplished just north of Livingston, Texas, by GOD. He shot five troops (number is urban legend and not actually known, but it adds lustre to the story), all black soldiers, after he had a conflict with a freed slave of his own age and they were sent to arrest him (the soldiers, actually).
This was on the old Israel road in Polk County.
Urban legend conflicts on whether he murdered the freed slave or not.
 It is not urban legend, however, on the fact that of all the murders he committed he was only tried and convicted on one, the murder of a deputy sheriff in and around Wharton, Texas.
Lordy there is some run-on sentences in this here post--hope ya'll can make heads and tails of tha thought.

WNY_Whitetailer,
To answer that question in just 3 word, Oh Hell Yes. After the war, many continued the fight and some even refused to surrender and left the country to avoid arrest by the Federals. Some of the worst places were New Mexico, West Virginia, Texas, Missouri,Kentucky and Louisiana.
