Who was the first American officer and first African American to lead troops in World War 1? He and his unit were the 369th Infantry and they weren't white. Due to bigotry and racist feelings amongst many Americans of the day segregation was how things were done. Their leader was one of the first Afro-Americans to become an offcier of the US Army. Like the guy who is now the President of the US of A, black American's can achieve anything. Go look up Jim Europe and see how the man came to be great. http://www.arlingtoncemetery.net/jreurope.htm

I'm not sure if this is what you are talking about...but it could be the nickname of a Mexican-American War regiment from Indiana- http://www.ingenweb.org/mexican/4THIMW.HTM
I'm pretty sure he got the nickname "Black Jack" from an African American regiment he commanded and led in the American-Philippine War. It was either that, or a regiment he led into Mexico to capture Pancho Villa. It had to do with some African American squad he led.
First American Regiment was created in 1784.
