African Americans served in the American military, starting in the
American Revolution. During the Civil War, the United States
government recruited African Americans to fight for the Union.
This tradition continued after the Civil War, where these soldiers
serving in segregated units became nicknamed Buffalo Soldiers.
In the years leading up to the end of segregation in the U.S. military,
the Buffalo Soldiers gained a reputation of serving with distinction and
honor. Today there are Buffalo Soldier organizations across the
United States continuing the original ideal of public service.
