Roosevelt's leadership and the Rough Riders' charge became iconic moments in American military history.

The telegram sent by the Rough Riders, a volunteer cavalry regiment led by Theodore Roosevelt during the Spanish-American War, primarily conveyed their triumphs and experiences during the Battle of San Juan Hill. It highlighted their bravery and determination in combat, as well as the challenges they faced.

I'll put it like this, any gang with the number 13 at the end of their gangs name is under control of the Mexican Mafia, which is why Surenos rep the number 13 cause the letter M is the 13th letter of the alphabet and the M stands for Mexican Mafia.

*Surenos are close allies with the Crips & gangs under the Folk Nation such as:Gangster Disciples Nation, La Raza Nation, Imperial Gangsters etc.

*Crips are NOT apart of the Mexican Mafia neither are they apart of the Folk Nation.

*Surenos wear the colors brown and white NOT blue

The battle of san juan hill.

One of Theodore Roosevelt's exploits as the leader of the Rough Riders During the Spanish-American war was to lead his men on a charge up hill on foot. When the Rough Riders returned, they were heros.

Aside from being a Rough Rider, Henry Nash was a miner, schoolteacher, and cowboy.

Former President Theodore Roosevelt was the Lieutenant-Colonel of the Rough Riders. This is the popular name of the First United States Volunteer Cavalry.

I think your question might be more relevant to the Spanish-American War of 1898. The "Rough Riders" were the 1st US Volunteer Cavalry in the Spanish-American War. They were a white unit, with Theodore Roosevelt as second in command (Lieutenant Colonel). Roosevelt wrote a book right after the war about his experiences, which led to him being nominated for Vice President in 1900, and he then became President in 1901 when McKinley was assassinated.

There were about 180,000 black soldiers in the Union (Northern) Army in the Civil War, but I believe they were all infantry - foot soldiers. I do not recall having ever seen anything referencing a black cavalry unit in the Civil War.

After the Civil War the very famous 9th and 10th Regiments of US Regular Cavalry (Negro) were created. These were the fabled "Buffalo Soldiers", as the Indians of the Great Plains called them. These were extremely professional, immensely capable and very proud units. Not just anybody could join. Men served for decades in these units, and there were none better in the Army. When the war began with Spain in 1898, the 9th and 10th Cavalry were among the US troops sent to Cuba, along with the Rough Riders. The climax of the war was the "Charge Up San Juan Hill" (actually it was Kettle Hill), and Roosevelt, rushing his book into print, claimed all the glory. A few of the Rough Riders did get up the Hill, but they probably would never have made it if the 9th and 10 US Cavalry (Negro) weren't doing most of the work. So the professionals got the job done, and the glory hound amateur rode his stolen glory to the White House.

They were all selected because they were experts with horses (which they left behind in Florida) and qualified sharpshooters.

The American's attitude was a postive one. They gave the men pies, and other sweets when they came to stop at there town(s).
