Wasn't it the VMI cadets that whipped these cinematic yankees?

Actually the VMI cadets whipped Yankee ass at the Battle of New Market. But I believe the one scene you refer to out of 'The Horse Soldiers' might be a Hollywood takeoff of the actual battle.

No it was an fictious Prep School in Missisippi. "Horse Soldiers" is a Classic, and I believe it does describe a real Cavelry Raid on a Rail Road Junction.
