Rough Riders
The most famous of all the units fighting in Cuba, the "Rough Riders" was the name given to the First U.S. Volunteer Cavalry under the leadership of Theodore Roosevelt. Roosevelt resigned his position as Assistant Secretary of the Navy in May 1898 to join the volunteer cavalry.
Hope this helps :)
Slavery ended when President Abraham Lincoln delivered his iconic Emancipation Proclamation. This would eventually free black people so they could become ordinary citizens and NOT slaves. So basically, slavery was ended all thanks to good ol' Lincoln :)
