Why did some African Americans not want to fight in the Spanish American war? Do you think the same issues plague African American soldiers today?

Sagot :

I think they didn't want to fight in the war because they didn't know how they would be treated by the other soldiers but I don't think this bothers them today because they are used to it.

Answer:

The reason behind the afro-American soldiers' participation in the Spanish-American war was the treat they received from others. Racism was still present and strong.

Explanation:

All right, African-American soldiers were present in the army and they performed amazing duties. However, they were discriminated against by white southerners because of their remanent beliefs in racial superiority. It was so severe that in some cases their rights were not fulfilled by military authorities and they were considered "immune" to tropical wheater as well as diseases because of their skin color.
