This group of soldiers is not properly supplied and didn't even have shoes to cover their feet. Despite all their struggles they prove to be very well trained soldiers and they struck don many of their peers negative thoughts of them. Abraham Lincoln even noted that they helped changed the tide of the war. These men were Colored volunteers, some even slaves who believed in the cause that the north was fighting for. The movie deals with civil rights issues like North vs South and systematic racism. The 54th Massachusetts wasn't even originally supposed to see battle but it was the determination of Colonel Shaw that convinced his higher-ups that they were ready. Overall I really enjoyed the movie and the story it delivers the viewers and I would definitely watch this movie if you're a history buff.
