buffalo soldiers?
• high
• poor
• equal
• superior

Answer 1

The word "poor" best describes the typical quality of the supplies that the army gave the buffalo soldiers.

During the era of the buffalo soldiers, which refers to the period of African American soldiers serving in the US Army on the western frontier from the late 1860s to the early 1890s, the army often provided substandard supplies to these troops, including inadequate clothing, equipment, and rations. This was due to racial discrimination and neglect by the military leadership, which led to a number of challenges for the buffalo soldiers in carrying out their duties effectively.
