ePub The Halo of Golden Light: Imperial Authority and Buddhist Ritual in Heian Japan by Asuka Sango in History

Description

Whether slaves or free men; African Americans were generally excluded from military service until Emancipation. Many Americans know the story of the United States Colored Troops; who broke racial barriers in Civil War combat; and of the “buffalo soldiers;” who served in the West after that conflict; but African Americans also served in segregated militia units in twenty-three states. This book tells the story of that experience in Kansas.
