Answer to Question 1

Ideal Answer: The ideal answer should:
1. Note that states confined black troops to all black units; some sent these troops to Cuba.
2. Explain that some black units had black officers but no high-ranking positions. One man reached the rank of colonel and commanded the 9th Battalion.
3. Explain that most black units never saw combat in Cuba because of racism. Some buffalo soldiers from western posts fought in Cuba and performed well. Four black soldiers earned the Congressional Medal of Honor.
4. Conclude that compared to previous wars, blacks were able to gain more combat experience and the opportunities for blacks to become officers increased. Overall, minor gains were made over previous conflicts like the Civil War.
