Buffalo Soldiers originally were members of the US 10th Cavalry Regiment of the US Army. This nickname was given to the "Negro Cavalry" by the Native American tribes they fought in the Indian Wars. The term became synonymous with all of the African American regiments formed in 1866 9th Cavalry Regiment, 10th Cavalry Regiment, 24th Infantry Regiment, and 25th Infantry Regiment. The Philippine-American War (1899-1902) was an armed conflict between the US and Philippine revolutionaries.
