That was not normal Confederate Cavalry and by the end of the war Quantrill was wanted by both sides. His men consisted of famous names like the James brothers, Curly Bill, Ike Stanton, Johnny Ringo...and a bunch of the Cowboys
Just a historical note. These guys were not official Confederate cavalry who wore uniforms , but rather Quantrill's Raiders. Also known as ''Bushwackers' , they were guerrillas who killed a lot of civilians. In fact this scene takes place after their raid on Laurence , Kansas , where where 180 men , women and children were killed. The other interesting fact was that Frank and Jesse James rode with them.
The women and children were spared in that raid. It was the Union that had a tendency for murdering women and children, which in turn, led to the formation of guerrilla units like this in the first place. They cut off the hands or fingers of Jesse's mother or grandmother, I can't remember which.

Most people don't know that in the civil war Calvary charges usually happened with pistols it was more of a clash, skirmish, retreat, regroup, repeat. Calvary sabers were rarely used in Calvary charges they normally would've been used to either flank enemy ground troops or cut down retreating enemy's.
@@SStupendous I think sabers became reserved for high-ranking officers and generals. Other than that, you weren't doing much with a saber when everyone else has pistols and carbines

@@dodpoemdo4572 Do you think he more means spirit and heritage instead of an actual organisation? If so that is not dead, but is definitely on its way out.
what do you mean? the mongol army was called "Horde" by their enemies, but was as disciplined as the roman legions and one of the deadliest armies in human history. Not because of their numbers (they mostly were far outnumbered by their enemies). From childhood on they was been trained as warriors - and Genghis Khan formed those deadly men to a real army, with units similar to modern troops (One "Tumen" was, for example, an early version of the modern division, 10.000 strong). They had a formidable recon before they attacked, and the rules were very strict - not following orders, cowardice, for example, was punished with death. If those Union soldiers would have been mongols, Quantrill's men would have had a real problem.
Had they actually used proper 🇲🇳 Mongolian mounted tactics they would not have charged into a forest line. The Khan had men with iron discipline that engaged in skirmish tactic to lure opponents into open plains then kite them down from the flanks, and when the enemy routed the Mongols would slaughter fleeing to the last man they find.
@@mikeschlau4501 If only they didn't suck when they started to expand off the steppe.

The one thing that was still different was that the four khans still came to power on the basis of Mongol meritocracy, although the larger empire had long since started fighting itself, as was inevitable in a premodern empire that got so huge so fast. Kublai Khan might have still been the most powerful person in the era of medieval warfare in terms of the % of people he ruled by 1279, as now he ruled ALL of China and the stronger Ming Dynasty was still in the future.

What I want to see is a movie about John Mosby's cavalry raiders. These guys carried 4-6 revolvers apiece instead of the usual 1, and in several of their engagements their tactics were to hold the reins in their teeth, take a revolver in each hand, and ride into their sabre-swinging opponents with a pistol blasting in each fist.
it's Hollywood...hell those pistols are only worthwhile at ranges of about 25 to 35 feet anyway which is why only cavalry & artillery hauled them around one thing they did get right was what happens when a charging cavalry unit hits one that is standing, the standing squadron will get shattered but the reserves will do the same to the 'victors' of that first contact
firestream93 Well the Confederates in this video were Quantrills raiders a group of unaffiliated Confederate extremists who took the war to the border regions, launching raids on Union towns. At the beginning of this video they are leaving Lawrence, Kansas after killing almost 200 innocent civilians. The Confederacy began to distance themselves after the Raiders started to attack Confederate positions and became little more than bandits. After the Civil War many of the band would become some of the most wanted and violent outlaws in the Wild West. So Terrorists is fairly accurate.
I’m a northerner through-and-through and the Civil war in general was started over the right of white men to bring black men in chains to the west as if they were property... But if this was set in Missouri, the fighting there was terrorism on both sides.
This doesn't look like a regular cavalry unit. Is this movie about those famous "Bushwackers"-units and guerrilla-fighters from Missouri? (or wherever they were from? - the same ones Jesse James was a part of?...) PS. I'm sorry - I haven't seen this movie.
if I understand this battle right, the Union soldiers were all rookies who barely even knew how to use their weapons. You know they wouldn't ever make a movie like this again, showing an black fighting for the confederacy even though it did happen. Forget the man's name, but the man who that character is based off, ended up capturing the bear that Teddy Roosevelt spared.
@E W A traitor by definition is someone whose actions are intended to overthrow his government... The Confederacy never intended to overthrow the US Government, but believed in the right to secede (separate) from it, just as from England in 1776.
One thing that always kinda bugs me about movies is the commanders hysterically screaming orders at soldiers. Seems to me like that's the last thing you'd want to do. First of all it seems kinda pointless to be screeching like that in the noise of battle. Second it'll freak your men out to see you panic like that and third why does he need to yell those orders anyway? Didn't they go through and agree on the plan before-hand? Sub-commanders should at the very least be aware of the plan and so should the soldiers themselves.. And why is the commander even yelling at individual soldiers? Isn't there a chain of command in these units? I know it's for added drama, but it just strikes me as odd.
And shock troopers as they could cover more ground than infantry and could advance much faster against a non fixed position, a horse could do 35 mph (55 kmh) while a foot soldier at best could do 10 mph (16 kmh) for a very short time.
The American cavalry forces of the time were not patterned after the cuirassiers or uhlans, but rather after dragoons, particularly with the firearms available at the time.
@@TANTHEMANFILMS I did not say that Union or Confederate cavalrymen didn't carry sabers. I simply stated that the forces were patterned like units of light dragoons, mounted infantry that fought primarily with carbines and pistols whether riding or dismounted. Have a nice day.
@@henderson023 well sure like i said my 3rd great grandfather i do have a photo of him in Uniform both on and off his horse he had a colt pistol saber & i believe a Henry or spencer rifle in a holster on the horse.
I think there was one notable calvary battle where both sides stayed mounted ( Brandywine station?) Otherwise most times, the opposing sides would dismount from there horses and take up positions. I could be wrong.
Because that is what happened at this particular battle. After the sacking of Centralia the Union relief force which comprised entirely of the newly formed 39th Missouri Mounted Infantry pretty much ran headlong into Bloody Bill Anderson's bushwackers and was nearly whipped out to a man. Of the 147 Union soldiers who fought in the battle 123 were killed. The bushwackers suffered only 3 killed and 10 wounded,
@@SomeGuy-fl1gz I know swords were very common during the napoleanic wars than Crimea etc as muskets turned into rifles and with the invention of the revolver along with advances in artilery range and accuracy the sword started to become much less important in the civil war cavalry were instructed to ignore the melee and forget their sabers even existed and just shoot at each other as much as possible so I’d say the us and csa were the first to be so widely anti sword even officers and generals rarely ever had any interest in the art and rarely ever fenced with each other but aside from advances in weapon technology the sword was mainly on its way out because humans rather get shot than taste the steel of of a saber or even bayonet
@@mrfunnyperson100 yeah I just like swords currasiers would only stand a chance if they don’t get shot to bits but if they could get in close the civil war cavalryman would obviously run away
Whether true event or not, the use of "reverse slope" defense by the raiders was brilliant, silhouetting the Union cavalry against the horizon.
it is the exact thing I was trying to describe and brilliantly filmed too
i do believe it was a real thing
100% true. The ancient Germans used it as a tactic

I AM PROUD TO SAY THAT I HAD FAMILY RIDE WITH THE TEXAS 3rd
CAV. THEY WERE VOLUNTEERS FROM A RANCH NEAR RIVERA TEXAS.
but the falcons was leading by 25 points in fourth quarter?
Tell me about it lost money on that game
Quantrill's raiders?
What is the name of this movie?
Thats a typical day on the south side of Chicago. Minus the horses. Pssssh.
The main reason why slavery fell
slavery never ended lmao
OMG that is great filmmaking.
What's movie
The only thing Quantrill's Raiders did wrong was that they didn't kill enough yankees. 😎
Best to stay close to the AVENGERS
of coarse using sabers would be TOO CRAZY!.... xD
The American cavalry forces of the time were not patterned after the cuirassiers or uhlans, but rather after dragoons, particularly with the firearms available at the time.
@@henderson023 my third great grandfather W.H. Bosworth was a Sergeant in the Union Calvary and received 2 wounds by saber in 3 battles..
@@TANTHEMANFILMS I did not say that Union or Confederate cavalrymen didn't carry sabers.
I simply stated that the forces were patterned like units of light dragoons, mounted infantry that fought primarily with carbines and pistols whether riding or dismounted.
Have a nice day.
@@henderson023 well sure like i said my 3rd great grandfather i do have a photo of him in Uniform both on and off his horse he had a colt pistol saber & i believe a Henry or spencer rifle in a holster on the horse.
Literally stopped issuing swords in 1862 to cavalry. Also, from what I know guys in the cavalry WITH swords were mocked for having them.
In this moment you see the cavalry became useless in a front combat.
Quantrills Raiders more like. The Confederate cavalry were far superior to the north s
Who doesn't know it starts down south first
That's a lot of Horse Droppings...
I think there was one notable calvary battle where both sides stayed mounted ( Brandywine station?) Otherwise most times, the opposing sides would dismount from there horses and take up positions. I could be wrong.
However, this is a Skirmish, Not a Battle.
Brandy station not Brandywine.
Why run? Therefore stop asking where I'm going
Union would have had swords and would have not stopped, they would have charged straight it. Why can’t films do things correctly.
Because that is what happened at this particular battle. After the sacking of Centralia the Union relief force which comprised entirely of the newly formed 39th Missouri Mounted Infantry pretty much ran headlong into Bloody Bill Anderson's bushwackers and was nearly whipped out to a man. Of the 147 Union soldiers who fought in the battle 123 were killed. The bushwackers suffered only 3 killed and 10 wounded,
At 2:33 the horse was done
What a guy will do to own another person
and then the union cavalry move to flank them
1861--1865🇺🇸
Mounted infantry
Do it again uncle Billy
Guys why don't you use Sabres?
Because you’d be taking a sword to a gunfight
@@jeff5534 sounds reasonable thanks
What movie is this from?
whats the ending song?
Form bloody square
Can someone tell me what movie is this from please?
Ride with the Devil
God bless the confederate states of America
Cavalry charges with swords are way better currasiers would kick these dudes ass
They actually did it till the late 1700s and very early 1800s
@@SomeGuy-fl1gz I know swords were very common during the napoleanic wars than Crimea etc as muskets turned into rifles and with the invention of the revolver along with advances in artilery range and accuracy the sword started to become much less important in the civil war cavalry were instructed to ignore the melee and forget their sabers even existed and just shoot at each other as much as possible so I’d say the us and csa were the first to be so widely anti sword even officers and generals rarely ever had any interest in the art and rarely ever fenced with each other but aside from advances in weapon technology the sword was mainly on its way out because humans rather get shot than taste the steel of of a saber or even bayonet
@@matthewaleman4401 So which is it? Would Cuirassiers have destroyed them or where they hopelessly obsolete by the Civil war and no longer important?
@@mrfunnyperson100 yeah I just like swords currasiers would only stand a chance if they don’t get shot to bits but if they could get in close the civil war cavalryman would obviously run away
“Brave”
I join Confederate
Your first name is Latino....

Jayhawkers
