United States Colored Troops (USCT) were Union Army regiments during the American Civil War that primarily comprised African American soldiers, although troops drawn from other ethnic minorities also served in USCT units. Recruited in response to a demand for recruits from Union Army commanders, by the end of the war in 1865 USCT regiments, which numbered 175 in total, constituted about one-tenth of the manpower of the army. Approximately 20% of USCT soldiers were killed in action or died of disease and other causes, a rate about 35% higher than that of white Union troops. Numerous USCT soldiers fought with distinction, with 16 receiving the Medal of Honor. The USCT regiments were precursors to the Buffalo Soldier units which fought in the American Indian Wars.
