The average soldier, the diehard militiaman and the Italian volunteers who still stuck it out with the AUS, were still fighting. Lindbergh and a number of the rich backers of the movement had already fled: to Mexico, over the border to the PSA, and a few had already gone off in small parties or alone to surrender to the CSA, hoping that by turning themselves in they might be spared the 'People's Trials' that were already being announced on the radio. They were running in every direction they could. The AUS forces were spreading out, slipping in and out of the still porous borders of the PSA and the Mexican occupied zones. To fortify in such open country without air support was foolhardy.
the officers of a whole division had decided to surrender and join with the Syndicate forces after MacArthur fled, and now a massive force was pointed at Long's last hold out.
Whoever hadn't fled was either dead, a prisoner of war, or had wisely switched sides. The End of the Second American Civil War
