What was the assesment of Union General William Sherman on the Confederate cavalry?
Union General William T. Sherman had great respect for the calvary units of the Confederacy. He wote that the Southerners were extraordinary riders, excellent shots, totally reckless and the best cavalry in the world. The US, under General in Chief Winfield Scott had not fully developed the US cavalry prior to the US Civil War. This may seem strange in that calvary would be a necessity in keeping a watch on Mexico and helping to control Native Americans in the US Territories. The vast plantation areas of the South prior to the war lent itself to having good horsemen to manage this territory.
