context_page_description: The 2nd Tennessee Cavalry Regiment, also known as the 22nd Tennessee Cavalry after it was consolidated with the 21st Tennessee Cavalry, was a cavalry unit of the Confederate States of America during the American Civil War, organized on June 12, 1862. The unit was originally commanded by Lieutenant-Colonel Clark Russell Barteau, who was promoted from the rank of private on the day that he was placed in command of the new regiment. He was promoted to colonel a year later.
  Earlier, in May, 1862, the 4th Battalion Tennessee Cavalry and the 5th Battalion Tennessee Cavalry were consolidated as the 2nd Tennessee Cavalry under Col. Henry Marshall Ashby. To avoid confusion, these two units were referred to as the 2nd Tennessee Cavalry and the 2nd Tennessee (Barteau's) Cavalry.
  At approximately the same time that Ashby's and Barteau's regiments became parts of the Confederate forces, another 2nd Tennessee Cavalry Regiment was organized within the Union Army. It was designated as the 2nd Regiment Tennessee Volunteer Cavalry and was also known as the 2nd East Tennessee Cavalry since it was composed of men from the eastern portion of the state.

  At approximately the same time that Ashby's and Barteau's regiments became parts of the Confederate forces, another 2nd Tennessee Cavalry Regiment was organized within the Union Army. It was designated as the 2nd Regiment Tennessee Volunteer Cavalry and was also known as the 2nd East Tennessee Cavalry since it was composed of men from the eastern portion of the state. The exact date it was organised is unknown, because its muster rolls were destroyed at Nolensville, Tennessee on December 30, 1862.
