Marley’s song buffalo soldier is a song that is linked to Pan Africanism and
African Nationalism by means of showing how a soldier from Africa was sent to

used by America and was taken away from his land as a sort of a slave, which
also depicts African nationalism as it shows how he was used by other
countries. It also portrays how he won the war for America, which the Africans
