What does cavalry mean durng the civil war?
One of the big advantages of the South was a strong cavalry tradition. The volunteers who flocked to join the Confederate armies were natural riders and shooters, and some of their leaders - Wheeler, Stuart, Early, Forrest - are names that are still full of legend. It took the North at least two years to recruit and train a good cavalry. The first Union cavalry operation of any note was the Grierson Raid in spring 1863. Grant was stranded on the West bank of the Mississippi, and needed to cross the river to reach a point from which he could attack the port of Vicksburg. In order to distract the attention of the garrison commander (Pemberton), Grant ordered Colonel Benjamin Grierson to launch a raid down through the whole length of the state of Mississippi and into Louisiana. This was a total success, bewildering Pemberton, enabling Grant to make his crossing, at almost nil cost in casualties. Curiously, Grierson was not an experienced cavalryman, nor a natural candidate for mounted operations at all - he was a music teacher who was frightened of horses!
What did African Americans do in World War 2?
They were not allowed to join in infantry units but were allowed to drive trucks etc., so they were part of the ordance corp. They also flew in one air force squadron, the Tuskegee airmen.AnswerThere was also a United States African/American Tank Battalion (756 th Armor not sure of that #) that served with Honor in many German battles. AnswerBoth respondents are somewhat inaccurate. African Americans did serve in infantry roles, though they were not allowed to do so at the beginning of the war. The tank battalion mentioned is the 761st which served in Patton's 3rd Army. African American's also played vital support roles such as drivers for the Red Ball Express as well as filling civilian jobs stateside during the war. The Army organized two infantry division made up of African-Americans enlisted men commanded by white officers. One was the 92nd "Buffalo" Infantry Division and the other was the 93rd Infantry Division. I'm not sure about the history of the 93rd Division. The 92nd Infantry Division was sent to Italy, where they were repulsed by a German attack and they had to be re-inforced by elements of the 442nd and 473rd Regimental Combat Teams. The 555th Parachute Infantry Battalion was an all-black airborne unit. The battalion did not serve overseas during World War II. However, in May 1945 it was sent to the west coast of the United States to combat forest fires ignited by Japanese balloons carrying incendiary bombs.The 99th Pursuit Squadron was activated in 1941 and this unit was to become the core of other black squadrons forming at Tuskegee and Maxwell fields in Alabama- the famed Tuskegee Airmen. They were formed into the all-black 332nd Fighter Group consisting of three fighter squadrons: the 100th, 301st and 302nd. They were stationed in Italy.On June 1, 1943, the Army created the all black 477th Bombardment Group Medium (M) fly he B-25J medium bomber. Their training was delayed as the men got moved from base to base and weren't trained as effectively as other units. The unit was moved to Freeman Field, IN, and the base orders did not allow the black officers to attend the all--white officers club. The black airmen tried to enter the club and the MPs were called. Many airmen were arrested. The unit never went overseas. A good reference book is Lt . Col. James C. Warren's, USAF (ret) book "The Tuskegee Airmen Mutiny at Freeman Field".The Tuskegee Airmen were indeed famed in the air, but an all-black mobile anti-aircraft artillery unit on the ground in the XII army , also in the ETO, actually scored more kills of enemy warcraft, nearly 100, than did the Airmen up in the air. Like their counterparts in the air who defended bombing runs, mobile anti-aircraft battalions set up and were attached and detached to much larger combat units, mainly field artillery and armored infantry brigades. And unlike the Airmen, who on the ground largely maintained the segregated practices of the day, these anti-aircraft gunners took their chow with white units. This battalion participated in ever major European campaign except for Anzio and are one of a half-dozen or so anti-aircraft battalions who are honored by inclusion on the large granite monument in St. Louis at the foot of The Arch, which commemorates the heroism of those who fought in the Ardennes Forest in the Battle of the Bulge.
