What Napoleonic Era tactic did commanders in the US Civil War use the least?
US Civil War commanders avoided what had been a successful tactic in the Napoleonic era of warfare. This was the European reliance on heavy cavalry in battle. Part of this in the US was the lack of a cavalry tradition within the US military for each side. Part of the reason was based on vast amounts of forested topography. There was also the understanding that charging rifled armed infantry was a potential disaster. With that said, cavalry was used but in a unique manner. When confronting infantry, cavalry soldiers often dismounted to fight. By the use of rifles and sabers. In a manner of speaking, the cavalry became mounted infantry.
