Who were Exodusters and Buffalo soldiers? Explain what each did.

Two groups, the Exodusters and the Buffalo soldiers, mainly comprised the movement in the west. The Exodusters were Afro-American families that traveled in the West to take advantage of the opportunity to escape racial discrimination and slavery in the South.

Explanation:

Buffalo soldiers were federal troops stationed in the West, fighting the Indians and protecting white settlers.

This western move gave the people of Africa an opportunity to start a new life and support a promising and hopeful future.

African Americans were Exodusters who migrated from the South to the West (mostly Kansas) during the 1879 Exodus.

After reconstruction, the movement took place. For southern Blacks, post-reconstruction was a difficult time because of lack of economic opportunities, civil rights loss, and increasing violence against races.

After Congress passed legislation in 1866 to allow African Americans to join the regular military for peacetime, the buffalo soldiers joined all-black cavalry, the 9th and 10th.

Between 1867 and 1900, the Buffalo soldiers were American soldiers in the West.

The Native Americans at the Texas Frontier named them "Buffalo Soldiers."

"From former slaves and free men, trained and illiterate craftsmen, unskilled workmen, farmers and villages" included Buffalo soldiers.
