The job of Cavalry did shift completely by 1863. The roles of light infantry/skirmisher/scout became vital to Union victory. It must be noted that the Union began the War with an advantage in Artillery . The Confederates had the advantage in Cavalry until about 1863. But the Union learned and had more assets and manpower.
Don't forget the cavalry's arms - of all branches of the army, they had the most sidearms, the most breechloaders and repeating rifles.
A saber can still kill , just because fire arms are around does not mean the saber suddenly can't kill someone , but its important to know when its needed
Regardless, sabers saw little use and the cavalrymen that that them were often ridiculed.
Intense!
Great video.Nice to watch all the uniforms and guns and horses.Keep history alive
My ancestor fought in the PA 2nd Cav . Fought every major battle in the east from beginning to end .
Hemi Head
My great grandfather fought for a Pennsylvania Calvary unit. Unfortunately I don’t know which one.
My other great grandfather fought for the Confederacy in the eastern theater. Well known. Thomas Jonathan
Jackson ( Stonewall ).
Our great grandfathers were around each other during the War. Interesting how that works.
Have a good day my fellow American. 🇺🇸👍🙂
I liked the different classifications of the four types
How is it even possible for a historical presentation of any length on Col. Mosby be made and NOT make mention of his moniker, “Grey Ghost of the Confederacy”?
Mosby and Forrest were both out standing calvary officers
@@Price1861 Forest first entered Confederate military service as a Private and exited military service four years later as a Lieutenant General; speaks for itself.
My guess would be because the emphasis was on the U.S. Cavalry. Likewise, the mention of the cavalry's use of revolvers made it sound like a Union cavalryman's idea in the early 1860's, where in reality they had been used to great effect by mounted troops (Texas Rangers) for two decades before that.
