∙ 7y agoThe Buffalo Soldiers were all black, segregated units of the US Army. They formed after the Civil War for service in the West. In 1866 two segregated regiments of cavalry, the Ninth and the Tenth United States Cavalry and the 24th, 25th , 38th , 39th, 40th and 41st Infantry Regiments were commissioned. In 1869 the infantry regiments were consolidated into two units, the Twenty-fourth United States Infantry and the Twenty-fifth United States Infantry. The origin of the name "Buffalo Soldier" is unclear, It seems certain that the name was first used by Comanche and Southern Cheyenne in Indian Territory ( Oklahoma) where the regiments were first posted, they got their name because they hair was rough like a buffalo's hide.
