Are buffalo soldiers good or bad?

Buffalo Soldiers were African American soldiers who served in the U.S. Army after the Civil War, primarily during the Indian Wars, and played a significant role in the westward expansion of the United States. Their contributions included protecting settlers, maintaining order, and participating in various military campaigns. While some view their actions as part of a larger narrative of American expansionism that led to the displacement of Native Americans, others recognize their bravery and service in the face of racial discrimination. The assessment of whether they were "good" or "bad" depends largely on one's perspective on the historical context of their service.
