What were the blacks and the tans during the war of independence?

The "Black and Tans" were a paramilitary force recruited by the British government to assist the Royal Irish Constabulary during the Irish War of Independence (1919-1921). Comprised mainly of ex-soldiers from World War I, they were notorious for their brutal tactics and reprisals against Irish civilians. Their presence exacerbated tensions and violence in Ireland, leading to widespread condemnation and contributing to the eventual push for Irish independence.
