Where there any blacks in the rough riders?

Answer 1

Yes, there were Black soldiers in the Rough Riders, a volunteer cavalry regiment led by Theodore Roosevelt during the Spanish-American War. While the Rough Riders were predominantly composed of white men, some African American soldiers served alongside them, particularly those from the 10th Cavalry, a regiment of Buffalo Soldiers. Their participation, however, was not as widely recognized or celebrated as that of their white counterparts.
