This extract provides historical background on the Buffalo Soldiers, U.S. Army regiments composed exclusively of Black American soldiers established in the 19th century. The 10th Cavalry Regiment was formed in September 1866 at Fort Leavenworth, Kansas. During the 1870s, over 20,000 African Americans migrated to Kansas seeking escape from Southern poverty, with some joining segregated military units. These soldiers served in Western Indian Wars from 1867 to 1896, earning their name from Apache and Cheyenne forces, and later served in Cuba, the Philippines, Hawaii, and Mexico, significantly impacting the Reconstruction era.
