Additional Description: In the Confederacy, Tennessee ranked first in total livestock. Early in the war, the state's vast supply of horses enabled the South to dominate cavalry operations, but by 1864 the Union controlled most of Tennessee as well as the state's supply of draft animals. As a result, Union cavalry successes increased as Southern troopers gradually pushed their own dwindling number of horses to the point of exhaustion. - Courtesy Library of Congress
