History:
Cavalry played a vital and evolving role in the American Civil War, serving both the Union and Confederate armies in reconnaissance, skirmishing, raiding, and sometimes direct battlefield engagements. Initially equipped with sabres and pistols, cavalry units increasingly relied on carbines and rifles as the war progressed. Confederate cavalry, under leaders like J.E.B. Stuart and Nathan Bedford Forrest, became famous for their mobility and aggressive tactics, while Union cavalry improved significantly in organisation and effectiveness by the mid-war years. Mounted troops often wore a mix of standard uniforms and campaign dress, with distinctive slouch hats or kepis. This set captures the speed, versatility, and battlefield presence of Civil War cavalry across a wide range of theatres and engagements.
