Buffalo Soldier 10th Framed Set | |
|
Over 180,000 African-
Americans served in
the Union Army during
the Civil War. Of
these, more than
33,000 died. After
the war, the future
of African-Americans
in the U.S. Army was
in doubt. In
July1866, however,
Congress passed
legislation
establishing two
cavalry and four
infantry regiments
(later consolidated
to two) whose
enlisted composition
was to be made up of
African-Americans.
The majority of the
new recruits had
served in all Black
units during the war.
The mounted regiments
were the 9th and 10th
Cavalries, soon
nicknamed Buffalo
Soldiers by the
Cheyenne and
Comanche. Until the
early 1890s they
constituted 20
percent of all
cavalry forces on the
American frontier.
