Stuart's cavalry

Stuart's cavalry was a group of armed soldiers led by General J.E.B. Stuart during the American Civil War, mainly for the Confederate Army. They specialized in fast, mobile operations such as reconnaissance, raiding supply lines, and gathering intelligence about the enemy’s movements. Unlike regular infantry, Stuart’s cavalry moved quickly across the battlefield and behind enemy lines, providing strategic advantages. Their agility and ability to relay information helped the Confederate army respond swiftly to Union advances and maintain an element of surprise. Stuart’s cavalry was known for its bold, unconventional tactics and significant role in shaping Civil War battles.
