The Buffalo Soldiers were African-American troops, mostly of the 9th, 10th, 24th and 25th cavalry regiments. The Army was empowered to recruit black soldiers in 1863. The soldiers fought in the Civil War, but their name came from their service in the Indian wars that followed. Native Americans called them Buffalo Soldiers because of their tightly curled hair, which reminded them of the buffalo's mane. Every soldier fights for his own reasons. But it is likely that they fought in the Civil War to help eliminate slavery (although some African-Americans fought bravely on the southern side).
