This video delves into the Tallassee Carbine, the Confederate States of America's last-ditch effort to design a standard pattern cavalry carbine in 1863. The design was quickly developed at the Richmond Arsenal, featuring a 25-inch barrel and brass furniture with an Enfield-style lock. Due to security concerns in Richmond, production was moved to Tallassee, Alabama, utilizing a former cotton mill. Despite efforts to establish the Tallassee Arsenal, production was slow, and only a few hundred carbines were completed by April 1865, before the Confederacy's collapse. These carbines never saw combat, and their ultimate fate remains uncertain, with theories suggesting they were used for mill rebuilding. Today, fewer than a dozen are known to exist, primarily in museum collections. The video highlights the historical significance of this rare firearm and its connection to the Confederacy's final struggles.
