African Americans Fight for America
From my last article you might think that only Caucasians fought for law and order in America without the help of people of other nationalities. It is true that the majority of Americans are white. They mostly came from Europe. But there were a lot of people of color as well.
You have heard about the African Americans who
fought in the Civil War.

By the end of the Civil War, roughly 179,000 black men (10% of the Union Army) served as soldiers in the U.S. Army and another 19,000 served in the Navy. Nearly 40,000 black soldiers died over the course of the war—30,000 of infection or disease.
Race is a lie. We are all of one race,
from different cultural groups. Evolution has created the false race theory that
Blacks are not as evolved as Whites. No we are all created equal, even though
life is not always equal due to this world’s fallen nature, causing the prejudice of evil people.

Bass Reeves was a legend in his own
time. He was the epitome of dedication to duty, Judge Parker's most trusted
deputy and one of the greatest lawmen of the western frontier. On
January 12, 1910, Bass Reeves died at the age of 71, in
Muskogee, Oklahoma.
Bass Reeves (July 1838 - January 12,
1910) was an American law enforcement officer. He was the first Black deputy
U.S. marshal west of the Mississippi River. He worked mostly in Arkansas and
the Oklahoma Territory. During his long career, he had on his record more than
3,000 arrests of dangerous criminals, and shot and killed 14 of them in alleged
self-defense.
“On a riverbank
in Texas, a master of disguise Marshall Bass Reeves waited patiently, hoping
that his target, an infamous horse thief, would show himself on the trail.
After four days, the hunch paid off, when the bandit unwittingly walked towards
the man who hunted the outlaws of the Old West. Springing from the bushes, the
Bass confronted his frightened mark with a warrant. As the desperado reached
for his weapon, the lawman shot him down before his gun could leave his side.”
