@@annelauber3016 I watched "Glory" in the movie theatre when I was 17 years old and it impacted me so much, I decided to write my research paper on it in high school. I was able to secure 100+ year old books from the library about the 54th (no researching on the internet! LOL)... and was surprised to learn that, with many movies made from history, some details are "stretched." The biggest one for me was to find out that the 54th was not the first all-black regiment to form, as the movie indicates. That honor goes to a regiment in New York. The 54th was the first to fight, though.

[@anyaw340]

Unfortunately, Europe is the first place where those men received any respect from white people. The biggest example is actually France, where many American black troops served heroically under French command in World War I, and were recognized for their heroism by the French (unlike in the US, where many black soldiers died penniless and unacknowledged). Britain was also a more human place to be for black soldiers. Not to pretty up Britain's image - America's racist system originated from them and they held non-white colonies until the 20th century - but they were certainly more humane in the 20th century than America.

[@grumpyoldfart4167]

The Civil War is filled with unbelievable acts of courage, the 20th Maine under Col. Joshua Chamberlain, and its defense of Little Round Top at Gettysburg, the I do not know what to call it, probably as close to a Banzai Charge as any American Unit has ever made. There was a hole in the lines, Major General Winfield Scot Hancock commanding II Corps needed time to gather troops to reinforce his position, the only thing available was a small, tired, bedraggled, understrength Regiment from Minnesota. M. G. Hancock needed 15 minutes, he ordered Colonel William Colvill, commanding the 1st Minnesota "Take those colors!" pointing at two advancing Confederate Brigades. So 262 heroes charged down the slope into an estimated 1,500 Rebels. They bought General Hancock 30 minutes at the cost of 215 killed and wounded, 47 men was all that was left. It wasn't over the next day, they helped stop Picket's Charge!

[@nigelft]

Oh, God, yes ... They literally were out of ammunition, but Chamberlain realised the Confederates were as tired as they were, and would still have to fight uphill ... So the idea was one, last, desperate gamble to keep the Union Left Flank from falling apart: fix bayonets, and charge, downhil, whilst doing a right wheel, (so down, and to the right), like, as is ascribed him as saying " like a gate on a fence post" ... I can only imagine the fear in the remaining men, when the order to " Fix ... Bayonets ...!!!" rang out, followed by an adrenaline fueled charge, right at the enemy, whilst pushing them to their (the Confederates) left. The Confederates we're just expecting the Union side to stay atop, meaning by the time they former reached them, the latter would be out of ammunition, meaning that the flank they were holding onto would be rolled up. What they weren't expecting was a charge that not only became legend, but stuff of textbooks. Most of the Confederates just ran; those who couldn't run fast enough, through the trees, and over roots, stones, rock, and, of course, corpses, were captured at bayonet point. That, later, it was discovered those Union troops barely had any ammunition left, just hammers home the quick thinking, tenacious, but utter bravery of Col. J. L. Chamberlain, to lead such a charge, in the last ditch hope. That, and the horrific fighting at The Angle, kept the Union lines intact ... On the converse, Picket's Charge wasn't stupid, but neither was it smart. By the time they were in 'double canister' range (imagine 00 buck scaled up to cannon size), the Confederates were already badly mauled ... but what few were left was decimated ... Gettysburg should've been taken as a warning of what WWI could, and did, become, on a much larger scale ...

[@iwritechecksatthegrocerystore]

Such a deadly war, the weapons could hit someone 8 football fields away! 800 yards. No one at the time had ever experienced such deadly weapons. Battles were fought by thousands and thousands of men. Many slaves were fighting right on the battle lines with their masters too. It was an amazing event in our history as a nation. It should be in every history book. I know there has been a movement to play it down and just abbreviate it, but it was crucial in creating the nation we know today.

[@anyaw340]

You say many slaves were fighting with their masters. Firstly, it's irresponsible to make that statement without noting that they were there because they had NO choice. As in everything in an enslaved individual's life, they did whatever their enslavers told them to do. They did not "fight" in the war like my 3rd great grandfather of the 1st US Colored did - of his own volition. Secondly, the vast majority of the small number of enslaved men who were enlisted in the Confederacy did menial labor. They did NOT physically fight with their masters. In fact, the Confederacy refused to give them guns until they got desperate and it became apparent that they were about to lose the war.

We have to acknowledge that the US was a viciously racist country all over, so it's unrealistic to try to claim that most white Union soldiers were fighting to end slavery. Most of them were fighting to preserve the Union, or simply because they were told to. I don't say this as some bitter white Southerner.
