Thousands of colored soldiers were slain in world War I in Europe. Some of the survivors remained in the Army, for some time. There were Negroes in the Army between World War I and World War II. The Army was not all-Caucasian between the two wars. I placed a "citation needed" notice onto the article. Harshness prevailed in the heyday of the Ku Klux Klan, however, some Negroes found a home in the army during the 1930s. They were trained soldiers who received sparse pay. The Ku Klux Klan killed colored soldiers, too, of course. Superslum 11:01, 19 July 2006 (UTC)
- Too many pages in wikipedia are decorated by the worn out term "African American." Try to limit yourself to making comments about the subject of the page, please. There is no need for a useless comment. Colored (people) fought under illustrious Americans such as George Washington and Andrew Jackson, too. Negroes were sailors in the U. S. Navy during the War of 1812. In some capacity, Negroes have been a part of the U. S. Army continuously since 1863. Look at Buffalo soldiers. Superslum 20:51, 19 July 2006 (UTC)
