After the Civil War, the first peacetime all-black regiments in the regular US Army were established in the first peacetime all-black regiments. The first established The Buffalo Soldiers (one of many African-American regiments raised during the Civil War) were the first regiments to be established.
Buffalo Soldiers of the 9th and 10th Cavalries of the 9th and 10th Cavalries defended uncharted territories as pioneers migrated westward. They also had to deal with the Wild West's hardships. Army desertion rates remained high throughout and after the Civil War. Low interest rates prevailed among Buffalo Soldiers, however, but low numbers prevailed. They were also praised for their service and sacrifice during the Spanish-American War and other wars in the late 1800s.
Each unit was given stateside assignments during World War I, with some exceptions. Despite this, no unit saw action during World War II. As integration in the military began in 1944, the Army activated both regiments and transferred service members to other units.
