Destroyed by bushwhackers or Union troops?

I changed the lede to say "bushwhackers" rather than "Union troops" destroyed the original tavern, in order to make the lede conform to the fate of the tavern as described in the article's section "After the battle", which has a reference. I know that Union troops regulars executed systematic and widespread destruction of civilian property on numerous occasions, and may well have done so here, but that's not what the referenced section says. If someone can find a reference saying that the tavern was destroyed by Union troops, or even pro-Union bushwhackers, I'd be happy to see both statements improved to say that. --A D Monroe III (talk) 19:43, 7 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Are you sure about 'pro-Union Bushwhackers'? I thought those would be Jayhawkers. Valetude (talk) 00:53, 6 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]
