		During the Civil War, it is estimated that 1.5 million horses died, although this includes draft and artillery horses.

	JMH Abstracts: Vol. 63, No. 2
		During the American Civil War, cavalry operations were often considered peripheral to the actions of the main armies.
		The western Confederate cavalry, however, elevated raids to a primary function and exploited the Union's "Achilles heel" by interdicting the supply of Union armies over railroads.
		This essay examines the importance of long-range cavalry raids on Confederate military strategy in the western theater, analyzes their impact on the course and outcome of the Civil War, and explores their application by Confederate commanders.

	The American Civil War
		Part of the reason stems from a certain parochialism, in which Americans know that their Civil War was very deadly to them, and far more deadly than the miniscule operations of 1777-83 or of 1812-15.
		The love of fortification that was widespread in the Civil War was not a result of deadly new weapons, since several generals had already embraced it at the start of the war, before many of the new weapons were available.
		The Union cavalry would come into its own on the battlefield only in 1864-5, when it was equipped with repeating carbines which - unlike the infantry's rifle-muskets - had a high volume of fire rather than a long range.

		I cannot expect to entirely do justice to an event in American history which defined us as a people and redefined the country as a Nation, rather than as a mere experiment in Federal Republicanism.
		Its conclusion established the supremacy of the authority of the Federal government over that of the individual states, ended the institution of slavery, and stimulated the industrial growth and prosperity of the entire country.
		The cast of characters, the violent clash of opposing beliefs, and the huge stakes involved in the outcome make the Civil War a drama which is hard to ignore for anyone interested in our history.
