@@Retoxxxxxx I wish they would have had Sgt. William Carney in this movie. It seems like they put pieces of Carney in Denzels Character, but Carney's story doesn't end in tragedy that's for sure! Trip went down with the flag at fort Wagner. Carney grabbed the flag, got shot then lead the charge up the hill to the fort. He planted the flag at the top and went to work, ralling everyone to a safe spot to continue the attack. They were eventually pushed back out of the fort but Sgt. Carney, already wounded, ran back up the hill to save the flag and got shot again. He made it back to his men saying "the old flag never touched the ground boys!". He was awarded the medal of honor for his actions at fort Wagner. They put a small direct easter egg ode to Carney in the movie during the Wagner battle at the end. After they storm the fort, you can see a man waving the American flag screaming "RALLY! RALLY!" prompting the 54th to form a firing line to deal with a counter attack. That was Sgt. William Carney.

Also pretty unrealistic to order a cavalry charge at the front of a firing line. You have a wall of men, armed with guns and bayonets. To charge directly is suicide. Cavalry is supposed to be used to break up enemy lines, preferably from the back or the flanks. To attack the front will do little else than rid you of your cavalry. A good commander would use his infantry to lock the enemy infantry then use cavalry to flank them, break up the line and force them to retreat. It's not easy, as a good commander can spot the weak flank and reinforce it, which prevents the cavalry from breaking the firing line, but it is so effective that it was used for over 2000 years. This tactic was even used as recently as the 1940's with tanks.

They were already committed to chasing down the broken union line. The 54th was just forming up into line. In all honesty, breaking their momentum to turn around would have maximized the chance of the 54th doing what they eventually did. Going in full tilt maximized the chance of breaking through a hastily organized defense line (who did not have bayonets affixed at the time). The rebels took a gamble and lost.

I would take the Union figures, and the Confederate figures, and draw a line somewhere in between.

I’m pretty sure they should’ve had them fixed when the cavalry charge because if they continued their charge they could’ve easily broke the line but if bayonets were fixed cavalry are less likely to charge into a line also cavalry would’ve still charged the like because even then lines are vulnerable as charging horses can still go through a wall of men and steel if it was going fast enough of course forming square is impossible in wooded area but cavalry actually rarely fought in heavily wooded areas and the terrain would limit their effectiveness but glory is still a pretty good movie and while not 100% historically accurate it’s still pretty good

In case there is any confusion, this scene is not depicting the Battle of James Island (which involved the 55th Massachusetts Colored Regiment), but rather the Battle of Grimball's Landing. An excerpt from the Wikipedia page on the battle: "Meanwhile, the Confederates moved against James Island. On July 16, they attacked, with the goal of encircling and destroying a part of the Union forces there. The men of the 10th Connecticut Infantry were in an exposed position, and in jeopardy of being cut off. The Confederate efforts to get around them were checked by the men of the 54th Massachusetts, who rebuffed a series of attacks while the 10th Connecticut was withdrawn.[3] The 54th suffered 43 casualties, with 14 killed, 17 wounded, and 12 others lost to capture, but the 10th Connecticut was saved.[4] The following day the Union forces were pulled off the island.[5] This battle was the first engagement of the 54th Massachusetts Infantry Regiment.[6]"

The actual battle was a mere skirmish. The 54th was deployed to cover the withdraw of the 10th Connecticut who was in danger of being flanked. They exchanged a few volleys with the Confederates, then retreated, having done their part. The 54th got the worst of it losing 45 men to the Confederates 18. However they proved they could perform under fire.

Delaying actions usually means you are disadvantaged so the union loosing more doesn’t surprise me, what’s most important is that they didn’t break.

Ever notice that after fire at will command and the charge begins they all magically have bayonets fixed?

This battle was definitely Hollywooded up like most war movies, ive read battlefield reports fro the civil war where both sides fired at each other for an hour and nobody died, others where they confronted each other and both sides retreated. Some battles early in the war both sides where so closely uniformed and the flags looked so alike they would nearly march right on top of one another before realizing it was the enemy. Cavalry would not charge into infantry head on formed in line in the woods. If that actually happened the Confederate commander was an idiot. I doubt either side would sit there and wait until the enemy loaded and presented to fire before firing themselves, confederates where notorious for bayonet charges but I dont think they would rely on that after just a few volleys. Still a great movie though I always enjoy it every time I see it.

@@440SixPackEFI "While the Battle of Fort Wagner itself was not a decisive military victory for the Union, it is considered a turning point in the Civil War because the heroic charge of the 54th Massachusetts Infantry Regiment, an African American unit, significantly boosted the Union's recruitment of Black soldiers, adding a substantial number of troops to their ranks and demonstrating the bravery of African American fighters, which helped to further the cause of abolition" - I wouldn't call it a defeat if it was a major turning point for the Union. The 54th literally was one of the major units that turned the war in favor of the union.

@@lukeskywanker7839 The 54th was only major for being an All-Black unit, and they still had a bad engagement record. If you were speaking of symbolic importance yeah, appealing heavily to abolition movements and freedmen troops. There's a plethora of battles, campaigns and advantages to the military and its' logistics that won the war for the North. A freedmen unit is not that lmao

La escena tiene un gran fallo,los rebeldes avanzan disparando y a bayoneta calada los de la Unión no tienen bayonetas luego viene la carga y no tendrian tiempo de calar bayonetas,fallaron ahí.

This scene right here is exactly what America is all about. Foreign powers will do what they do. But all they really have to do is fallback and let us do ourselves in. Because history has recorded that we do that very well. And will most likely do it again in the very near future.

I collect replica flags and the units number is on the battle flag. I found a real confederate flag at an antique mall that looked similar for a Cummings Georgia unit. Had the unit number and was a battle flag exactly like this. By 1863 units began to adopt it.

As much as I actually enjoyed the scene in actuality the casualties were seeing in this one they make it look like there’s more, but however, that really wasn’t the case in real life. Anybody can look up this battle and yeah, this is completely inaccurate.
