PEOPLE: African-Canadian Soldiers
African-Canadian Soldiers By:A.J
The
African-Canadian soldiers were from Africa. They were used for war. They were
also told that they were not wanted or needed. African Canadians simply refused to be sidelined. Small Counties were
full of young blacks that were ready to fight against tyranny. Seeing themselves
as loyal British soldiers they refused to be robbed of their time to stand up
and fight for the freedom. During World War I, an all-Black unit was made up of men from all over
Canada. It was called the No. 2 Construction Battalion. they did not to fight
for their country. they built shelters and trenches instead.

good info, surprising they wanted to fight even though they got hate from their own country. I Wonder why they still felt pride and loyalty towards Canada after retaining so much disrespect
ReplyDeletegood info and writing. I am sad that they were told they were not wanted and not aloud to fight only build. did their battalion have any casualties?
ReplyDeleteGreat information. that's really terrible that they didn't get accepted by everyone. Why did they still fight in the war even though they were hated?
