"Buffalo Soldiers" was the nickname given to African-American army cavalry regiments by Native Americans who fought them on the frontier. Legend has it that that the nickname came to be because of their tenacity on the battlefield and curly black hair reminded the Native Americans of a buffalo's coat. "Buffalo Soldier" divisions would fight through the Indian Wars and in every major American conflict through the Korean War after which the armed forces were desegregated. Scott 2818 Buffalo Soldiers
