ACW Battles of 1861

Welcome to the Things You Should Know American Civil War Union Cavalry Page. Below is the video playlist for the American Civil War Battles of 1861. Due to changes in how we present videos, videos produced by TYSK before December 7, 2022, will eventually be remastered (no date given). This is to give as much credit as we can (and beyond the base educational fair use requirements). Newer videos may be remastered in the future to update errors and give credit for all photos used.
