To expound on my last post, regarding the use of cavalry, I think it is
informative to consider Jackson's behavior at Chancellorsville. After tha
initial rout of the XI Corps, from what I know, Jackson did not wait for
Stuart to scout out the position. Instead, he scouted the position himself
and attempted to press the attack with his infantry. It seems to me that
cavalry was used primarily for scouting before a day's fighting started, not
at the hight of battle.
