Colonel Robert Gould Shaw(played by Matthew Broderick)lost his life at 25.He hardly spent enough time with his newly wed wife.Glory to him and his men.
Denzel got an Oscar for his performance in this film. But Matthew Broderick deserves props for the scene on the beach. His portrayal of Shaw looking around taking in the sights and sounds of the momentary peaceful scene. As he knew, HE KNEW, he was going to his death.
Once again... The unsung HERO of this movie is James Horner's mesmerizing score... R.I.P brother...
The guy who wrote Tombstone also wrote this. He was a historian and the things in this film are very accurate.
Not completely accurate. The movie completely misrepresents who James Montgomery was.
I’m glad they included excerpts from Shaw’s letters home. They have actually been collected and published. If you haven’t read them you’re missing out. They’re so inspirational and beautifully written. “We fight for those whose poetry is not yet written…”
I love that line
I'm so glad you watch this, My great great uncle, Benjamin Haney was in the 15th United States Colored Troops in 1864-1865 durinthr Civil War. I am very proud of him. Thanks for sharing.
That tear that rolled down Denzel Washington's face won him the Oscar for best actor that year. A masterpiece!
It was best supporting actor. He got best actor for training day.
The first battle depicted in this movie, ‘Antietam’ put my family into generational poverty; my paternal 2nd-Great-Grandfather was hit by a piece of exploding fence rail and was injured so severely that he could no longer do his job after the war.
Sorry to hear that man...
The reason why the soldiers line up to fire and don’t take cover is because they were still using Napoleonic era tactics even though Civil War rifles were much more accurate and deadly than Napoleonic muskets.
Denzel Washington's character said, "I still don't want to carry your flag." - Yet the actual character he was playing was awarded the Congressional Medal of Honor as he indeed did pick up the flag and lead the charge when the flag bearer did fall. He was the very 1st black American to receive the Medal of Honor (USA's highest military honor).
21:26 Wow, I’ve seen this movie dozens of times over decades, and that never quite clicked in that way for me. I’d always focused on the narrative of Thomas saving Tripp, who’d only been his antagonist to this point. Never occurred to me that we see Jupiter reloading quickly under pressure and Thomas properly thrusting a bayonet. Much respect, and I love both of you!
Me either. Wow!
The fighting tactics you saw in the initial battle were common for all armies in the 1860s. Historically, muskets were not accurate over long distance (or even middle distance), so the most effective way to use them was to bring all the men together, advancing like a large collective shotgun. This was known as massing firepower. So that put all the men together, advancing in a line toward the enemy. They would wait until they were close enough to the enemy, then fire at the same time (a "volley" of fire) so it would have max effect. Unfortunately, by this time in history, artillery was becoming more accurate and lethal, and rifled muskets began having longer accurate ranges. So the advantage had tilted toward defensive positions. The advancing men became much more vulnerable over open terrain. More advanced offensive tactics had not yet been invented (they would wait for tanks and air mobility a century later).
Well, yes and no. Despite the increased range, accuracy and stopping power of the Minie, armies were still applying Napoleonic Era tactics that were based on smooth bore musketry. By 1864 both the USA and CSA had largely abandoned the outmoded tactics of the early 1800s.
The had accurate rifled muskets. However...... Not every unit would be armed with them until 63 even on the Union side. And secondly there was no official training method on how to shoot rifled muskets and the commanding generals were honestly not familiar them with them either. Earl Hess has written some great books on civil war tactics and rifled muskets and artillery's.
@@top_gallant Yep, there were still learning the whole process. One of my old email address names was GenUpton, so yeah.
Another point would be about the firing rate. you could at best get three shots a minute, and only if you were standing still. So when attacking, you wanted to get close and really make the first shot count. After which you were likely to bayonet charge.
@@seelx No. Hand to hand combat was rare, It wasn't one shot and charge it was measured fire fight with with volleys being flung back and forth or fire by files, platoons, companies, regiment up to brigade level down down to fire at will. Only 2% of injuries were from hand to hand.
As far as Hollywood adaptations of actual historical events go, this one is actually very well done. One of the more historically accurate movies there is. With one major exception and it's probably this movie's most iconic scene. The real Robert Shaw never had any of soldiers whipped as punishment or anything else. The whipping/flogging of soldiers as a punishment was banned in 1861 and the events of this movie take place in 1862 and 1863. If Shaw had any of his soldiers whipped, he at the very least would've been dishonorably discharged from the army. And from what I've read and heard about his family would've probably been disowned by his parents.
That's not exactly true, most of these stories are dramatized by Hollywood, also Hollywood has always had a agenda to make White people look very bad amd black people look so sweet amd innocent
Flogging (whipping) had only been abolished in 1861. In order to encourage civilian men to volunteer to fight. As whipping was considered the most degrading form of punishment, being equated with chattel slavery, white men would have been reluctant to join with the specter of whipping as possibility. There were other forms of brutal punishments still used by the army to enforce discipline. But I think the director did that scene to reinforce just how hard army life was back then.
@@dougwoodruff3432 only abolished in 1861 ? That's over 150 years ago, a century and a half, meanwhile it's still happening in African and middle eastern countries, this whole thing is anti White, it's to make White people look bad, it's been happening for a long time
There's also the Tripp/Rollins/Carney conflation, but the actors are so good even historical pendants can overlook that.
@@bretcantwell4921 Yes... don't leave out Sergeant Major Douglas (the son of Frederick Douglas) and First Sergeant Douglas (the other son of Frederick Douglas). They like color sergeant Carney survived this battle and the war. The 54th Massachusetts was made up of middle class men. Many doctors, blacksmiths, dentists, lawyers, shop keepers and laborers. They had very few former enslaved men, because the wrongly held belief back then was that formerly enslaved men were so cowed by their White enslavers that they would not have the "will" to fight. They would basically throw down their arms and run away. When factually such a regiment would be hell on wheels looking to kill as many former enslavers (or their minions) that they could get their hands on.
I’m an amateur military hustorian and the Civil War is one of my favorite studies.. I’ve read all of Colonel Robert G. Shaw’s letters, upon which this film is based. The film is excellent but only very loosely based on factual events as described by COL Shaw, however it does provide a very comprehensive view of the experience of many of the black troops who fought so bravely for their country during those very difficult times.
You guys should do the “Band of Brothers” HBO mini-series.. it’s absolutely fantastic and much more historically factual than “Gloy”
You can read about the pay controversy on Wikipedia on the article for the 54th Infantry Regiment, but it occurred basically because the US Army had only decided to treat the 54th as soldiers for doing manual labor and not to put them into combat (hence those rumors), and thus why they were offered a lower pay rate, which was for manual labor only. The promise for both seeing combat and equal pay had come from the state of Massachusetts and the governor, who was at the party with Frederick Douglass and Robert's parents.
Apparently, the Union Army wouldn't change their stance (or couldn't do so legally for whatever reason), so the governor of Massachusetts tried to have his state make up the pay difference, but the 54th decided to keep boycotting. It wasn't resolved until almost a year after the battle at the end of the movie where most of them died, and required an act of Congress to give them all back pay in the full amount.
I'm a native. We were called 'indian' alot of us don't prefer to be called this word
I love this movie it's one of my childhood favorite
I love the fact that they brought the truths out in a story driven movie
Y'all should watch dances with wolves with Kevin Costner
Last of the mohicans with Wes studi
Great native movies
"The salute is for everyone."
Such a deserving comment
This is a very powerful movie, a must see and I'm glad to see people not from the US watching it. They were truly incredible.
Great reaction guys. This is 1 of my favorite war movies. Denzel's acting in this movie was top notch!! Morgan Freeman also delivered one great performance. The Civil War is known as the 1st modern war. The 1st uses of hot air balloons, submarines, very tough to handle machine guns and more accurate long range rifles and pistols. You had women dressing up as men to fight in the war. You had child soilders. You had companies and regiments that were made up of black soilders as they were known at that time. You had french, German, Irish, Mexican, native American and so many other regiments and companies fighting on both sides. This war is so fascinating and just so heartbreaking. I would wanna say my favorite war movie is "Gettysburg" it stars " Tom Berenger" " Martin Sheen" and " Jeff Daniels" another great Civil War movie is " gods and generals"
The first battle scene showed the Battle of Antietam (Ann-ti-tem). The single most bloodiest day of the civil war. Tactically it was a draw, but since the rebels withdrew back to Virginia, it was enough of a win to issue The Emancipation Proclamation.
I saw this movie in the early 90s and I cried about the injustice I did not yet understand. Thank you for watching this respectfully. Truly.
2:45 because that was the tactics at the time, and had been for a couple centuries. Rifling plays a big role as before musket barrels were rifled firearms were VERY inaccurate. Firing in long lines was one way of the to actually hit something. By the Civil War, rifling had been developed, making rifles/muskets not only SIGNIFICANTLY more accurate but also able to hit at MUCH greater distances. Also, reload times had greatly improved, further adding to their effectiveness
Unfortunately, most generals at the time didn’t realize this and were stubborn to use old tactics, resulting in HUGE death tolls per battle
Unfortunately, WW1 suffered the same problems, using old tactics in an industrial age. That’s a big reason the death toll was so high with literally hundreds of thousands men dying in each battle
It's a story that repeated itself in war after war since at least the 19th Century - generals and other officers came of age having learned one way of fighting a war, and by the time it's their turn to command armies in the next war, the technology has advanced and made their previous experience obsolete. The result is horrific casualties for the men in their command until someone figures out how to respond to the new technology and new tactics disseminate.
So much of American history has or was slanted, filtering out the contributions of marginalized groups. This movie helped to shift the balance a little.
I hope you get a chance to watch Hidden Figures, about the black women who played a significant part of the space program. It makes me mad every time I watch it (although I love the movie itself) is that this story wasn't even hinted at in popular culture up to that point.
You guys really should watch "Band of Brothers". its the true story of Saving Private Ryan. Produced by Tom Hanks and Steven Spielberg.
there is a book called 'Cold Mountain' was made into a movie with Nicole Kidman and Jude Law, it's a pretty intense look into a southern life during the American Civil War, was nominated for several Oscar awards...always been a favorite of mine
Surprisingly great movie.
8:43 - Freedom. They are not thinking for themselves. They are thinking of future generations. Sacrifice!
One thing to remember is the 54th Mass was a real unit. And while this is a hollywood story about real historic people, their actions and accolades, along with their fate is true. It's saddening that in this day and age BLM defaced their monument because people don't bother to learn history anymore
Yeah, it's a shame there are so many confederacy monuments that a monument to shaw would get confused for one of them.. Perhaps if our country stopped coddling traitors under the guise of history worship and racism stopped being accepted we wouldn't even have a world that needed a BLM.
..Folks like you will just have to keep wishing for the day I guess..
This is one of my favorite movies and back in 1990, when I was 22, I kept it together until "Give 'em hell 54th!", after which I bawled like a baby and still do to this day.
After watching this movie, and the one about the Tuskegee Airmen (can’t remember the name of it) I’m curious if we’ll ever get a movie/mini series about the Harlem Hellfighters.
If there ever will be a movie/miniseries on the Harlem Hellfighters, I REALLY hope Sabaton’s song “Hellfighters” will be the theme
Desertion is punishable by hanging. The flogging was considered a more merciful option.
Gettysburg Starring Martin Sheen, Tom Berenger, Jeff Daniels and Stephen Lang. A MUST WATCH MOVIE...
You would love "the 13 hours that saved Britain". It's about the battle of Britain and how close we came to a full Invasion of Britain by Germany. It will blow your mind.
The punishment for Desertion in those days is supposed to be execution. The Colonel had him whipped to spare his life. I know it's hard to watch but it was to save his life.
The first time I watched this movie was in middle school in the early 1990's (91 or 92 can't remember) Glory is hands down one of the best war movies of all time... and definitely the best Civil War movie in my opinion.
I stated by Shaw in the movie, a well trained soldier can load and fire only 3 well aimed shots per minute. So, they had to be very judicious with their shot selection. If they shoot too soon, then they are in a huge disadvantage because they will not be ready to shoot again until possibly after the ideal moment has passed. Why they didn't make or use rifles with revolver style mechanisms for fast shooting, I don't know...
Repeating riffles and carbines were just coming out at the time. Some units got them before the end of the war, but the vast majority still used the more plentiful muzzleloaders.
Some units did get revolver style rifles and/or repeating carbines... most near the end of the war. At this time most troops had muzzle loading rifled muskets. The tactics were still Napoleonic.
Good reaction. Another movie that takes place in World War II is Windtalker about the Navajo men who passed information in their language because the enemy soldiers did not understand it.
one of the best military and historical films I have ever seen. and as for the shoes, I believe that anyone who has been a soldier will agree with me: good shoes are as important to a fighter as a good weapon.
In the Emancipation Proclamation, President Lincoln said the slaves in the Union would remain slaves. Slaves that escaped from the Confederacy would be considered free men, they were not granted citizenship but were allowed to join the army. Slavery was finally ended in December 1865 then the slaves in the North were free.
OMG thats one of my favorite movies of all time!!! Denzel Washington is an American National Treasure.
Denzel is one of the greatest actors who ever lived watch more of his stuff if you can. He is a Legend.
Unfortunately nowadays many people forget that soldiers of *all* colors (white, black, etc.) fought for The Union.
A great movie. Often overlooked.
I love this movie. Civil war battle tactics were basically walk up and fire. That is one reason this war is one of the bloodiest in American history.
The line formations are called Napoleonic tactics after Napoleon perfected them. Because muzzle loading muskets can be loaded and fired at most 3 times a minute. You had to cram a large number of soldiers in a small area to put a large number of bullets in the air. 100 soldiers can fire 300 bullets per minute. An officer would direct when and where to fire sometimes using often times unloading all out once called Volley Fire however the officer may let the soldiers shoot as they please if the situation calls for it.
Also, I think “rifling” was in its infancy.
Legendary performances all around in this one
Speaking to the manner of warfare shown, with lines of men standing and firing at each other…
First, while this is the most common manner of battle portrayed in Civil War movies, it wasn’t always done this way throughout.
That said, up to this point, this was how large scale battles with rifles had been done. Rifles, by and large, had been fairly short range, and inaccurate. The best way to approach an enemy had been to fire volleys en masse. The most recent large scale military campaigns that the Civil War generals had studied were the Napoleonic Wars. However, the rifles used by soldiers in the civil war were far more accurate and long range than they have been in the past. It’s one of the reasons the casualties of the civil war were so catastrophic.
One thing that wasn’t in the movie- After the war the government offered to exhume the body of Colonel Gould from the mass grave so his parents could bury him. His father (who was an abolitionist) refused the offer and wrote “the Confederates sought to humiliate my son by burying him with his black troops. But they could do him no higher honor then to lay him to rest with his brave men”
"What the hell?" "Why did they...?"
This is typical reaction to those who have not studied heavily about the American Civil War and how they fought. To put it simply, this was a very wierd period of warfare where the Americans were still stuck in Napoleonic Tactics (which were the *standard* for the better part of the 1800s) hence the strict formations and the waiting till they are almost on top of each other before shooting. The real, real problem though is that America had evolved the weapons of war to where Napoleonic Tactics were now obsolete.....hence the horrific bloodshed.
"I know he is making them hard but this is not the right way you are torturing them."
This scene was not about making them "hard." This was just punishment for the crime of desertion (though we learn later that he wasn't really deserting). And to be honest this punishment was considered "light." The unusual punishment for desertion at that time was execution.
You can't reload a musket while marching. Attackers got one shot with their rifles, and then they charged with the bayonet. The idea was to mass superior numbers in one location, march within 50-60 yards still in formation, shoot once, then charge.
If the attacker halted to shoot at greater range, and then reloaded and exchanged fire from that distance, the defender had the advantage of standing behind whatever fences, posts, boulders, rocks, and dirt he had erected, as shown in the film, while the attacker was standing in bare, open ground.
Little things. After firing the town, they rolled up thier colors, because they were ashamed of this action.
This movie was set shortly after the Mutiny. Both sides used .577 Enfields, the rifle credited with starting that. The huge number of leftover rifles from this war armed the Japanese Imperial Army and the Mexican Federales trying to repel the French invasion. U.S..580 Springfields were also obsolete at the War's end. Another commenter has accurate info re, flogging. The U.S. Army was desegregated in 1946. Army families exist among white and black Americans. Some Asian Americans are overrepresented in U.S. military service, notably Japanese and Filipinos. . Many Spanish speaking people enlist as a shortcut to Citizenship, as did my Russian Great-Grandfather, before WWI. Sikh emigrants arrived in California in the early 20th Century, the first sizable group of Indians in the U.S. I know of.
Two wonderful movies that relate more about the non-combat aspects of war are: "The Best Years of Our Lives" and "Mister Roberts" (perhaps it's listed as "Mr. Roberts"). No violence, but much about psychological and sociological aspects of returning veterans (especially in "The Best Years..." ). Regarding the shoe scene: Civil War military contracts went to the low bidder; sometimes uniform pieces fell apart in the rain or, in the cases of shoes, fell to pieces after a few miles. The shoes, commonly called BROGANS, were of one size only and there were no left and right shoes, just "straight." The soles were usually wood or sometimes laminated and properly-aged/tanned leather. The "blue suits" changed their physical looks but, more so, changed the Black soldiers' mental spirits.
The Confederate flag raised over Ft. Wagner at the end had a particular meaning to the Confederacy. The designer explicitly said he wanted it on a solid white background to symbolize the superiority of the white race. It was EXPLICLITY a racist flag.
First time I saw this was after watching Matthew Broderick in ferris bulluers day off. It was powerful movie but I couldn't take him seriously. It wasn't till years later that I could really appreciate the movie even more.
Americans learned how to fight like the European armies, which was stupid. Was a way to show the enemy how brave you were to stand face to face with them. And you had still to load guns one bullet at a time. Insane.
There had been black soldiers in earlier wars. A black regiment from Rhode Island was in the American Revolution, and naval ships were always integrated with black seamen serving alongside whites, so black Americans had previously fought for the US.
First Rhode Island Regiment with their yellow grenadier uniforms. Also in the Navy you had Blackjacks (Black sailors) and Crackerjacks (White sailors). The Navy up to WWI was always integrated. If you look at the popcorn treat Crackerjack it has a rendition of a White sailor on it. The origins of words and phrases are beautiful things.
Wasn't really until the invention of "rifling" that people started sharpshooting. Muskets were only really accurate up to about 50 meters. 100 meters or more and you're almost guaranteed to miss. That's why they were in lines.
The battle at the beginning 'Antietam' is the bloodiest day in US history 22,727 dead, wounded or missing out of 85,000 soldiers (combined numbers for both losses and soldiers, federal and confederate)
Another classic American Civil War movie and highly underrated in my opinion is the movie Gettysburg. It was the bloodiest battle to be fought on American soil. It is a long movie but is very well done and worth a watch.
India wasn't much different at the time, a mayor part of India losing to the British was the caste system. Modern weapons made Schudras as capable as Kaschtrijas in war, but the Indians never utilized their numerical advantage because they thought that some people should not fight because of their heritage and position in society.
in many cases the punishment for desertion was death, so flogging, as unpleasant as it was, was merciful by comparison.
Very amazing movie. I remember i watched this long time ago
God bless your sweet spirits.. Salute
It has been mentioned before... this is the mid 19th Century so tactics still involved mass volleys with tight knit troops. This is not WWI trench warfare, nor WWII small squad tactics. This is the battle of Antietam where the Union outnumbered the Confederates by almost two to one, yet McClellan (commander of the Union forces) foolishly though he was outnumbered and engaged with timid tactics. He barely came by a "win" and was able through his cupidity to protect Maryland from Invasion from Lee.
I have always been so proud of ALL our soldiers in America. My family was from the North so we were those who hated slavery, and even though there were some in the South who hated it, the country was divided North and South and people were caught up on sides regardless of the issues. Slavery was not the initial reason for the war but it became a big part of it Because President Lincoln was not approving of it and because he needed more men in service so he put the Blacks in the military. Being ignorant meaning uneducated not knowing how to read or how to write made being a soldier extra difficult and while the Blacks in the North had this hardship the poor Whites in the South were also very ignorant and it made it hard for them too. But the Blacks were fighting for freedom of all Blacks while the Whites in the south were fighting mostly because they were roped into it, forced into it, and they became hateful of the North and the Blacks in the process. Until about 50 years ago people in this country were still snobish about being either northern or southern, and then when people started moving around more in the States, and the States became a melting pot of people from all over other states and other countries, prejudices and racism began to subside a great deal.
2:58 - The distance a musket ball travels was not far AND it took a long time to reload. They had to be close because you really only got 1 shot before they were close enough to kill you by hand before you could reload and shoot again.
That was common punishment or sitting on a fence rail or other stupid stuff. They got paid three months later all at once, rich troops. This first battle set their name. they were not supposed to be in this fight, but they ran and got there in time to bolster-up the line. they had a habit of coming out of the swamps and fighting. "The Swamp Angels" The Confederates knew that if the 54th was in the area, they will be in the fight. They only lost 51% at Fort Wagnor. The 55th Mass. completed training by now and half that Regiment topped the 54th and the 55th went to Artillery training. This movie ends at half of the story. You need to see the movies Gods and Generals, and Gettysburg.
I love your take on the movie. Thx for doing this one.
back in the day war wasnt like today u needed to be close for the guns to be the most effective
American Civil war tactics: tactics always lag to new weapon systems. Before 1860 Muskets were 1) not accurate at range, and unreliable (If you had 100 of them and all fired 75 or so would fire and 25 or so would have something go wrong with the flint not making a spark. The idea before then was get your formation - in line so when you miss your target and hit the guy next to where you were shooting the guy next to you misses and hits your target- up close so when you miss you still hit something. Then all barrels get rifled and accuracy improves (along with the Minie ball where the bullet is bullet shaped, not round). And the rifles are much more reliable than flintlocks.
In the beginning battle, You were wondering why they were doing things the way they were, Its because in part technology had out paced tactics, And while the weapons of the time were not as accurate as todays, They could still be devastating in mass volleys, And no army's of the time knew exactly what to do about it, Except stick with the traditional approach, That had been successful in earlier times..
War back then was really dumb - no one except a few officers, had any idea of the concept of "initiative." So whole groups of soldiers would just stand around dying, whilst waiting for an order from above.
Such a very nice couple. I enjoy revisiting these movies with you and experiencing your reactions. I think you would both enjoy a movie called "Atonement". It has incredible cinematography and has a quite profound emotional impact.
Matthew Broderick is also amazing in "Biloxi Blues", another war movie, but it isn't so much about war.
British Military "rules of engagemwnt" allows them to only march in to battle in ine line. Union vs Confederate, North vs South
The first battle scene: the confederates had a slightly elevated position so thier guns would reach farther than the Union soldiers if they fired. The guns of that Tim had only 1 shot and then you had to resend which would take a while. The tactic is to get as close as possible then fire your gun at close range since the guns weren't very accurate. Then charge on the remaining with your Bayonetta. Firing and reloading way out means your in front of the enemy fire a lot longer. It seems counter intuitive but it's the correct tactic for the time.
During the middle ages in Eastern Europe a group of knights charged into a group of peasants armed with only sharpened spears. The knights were killed. It was the first time an army without knights defeated an army with knights. Since that battle soldiers would line up in squares holding their spears and attack other soldiers lined up in squares holding their own spears. As technology improved they included guns, but they never got rid of the boxes and spears. Since guns could only fire once, they simply attached knives to their guns making their guns into spears. It is said that every general fights the last war and that's what you see going on here. The boxes got bigger, the spears got shorter, but they're still the same tactics for 500 years.
Unfortunately that's the way wars were still fought at the time. Technology advanced beyond tactics. Troops still marched shoulder to shoulder and fired volleys as they did years before when they used muskets with ranges of 50 to 100 meters. Now they used rifles with a range up to 500 meters which made this war so much deadlier. Eventually around the middle of the war we start to see tactics changing, but it was still slow to change
Looking forward to y'all's reaction to this movie.
It is historically correct for the most part.
Very moving. Well acted and directed. Enjoy.
Edit : Great reaction, Loud Guys. As usual.
Your thoughts on the movie were very insightful.
Love the channel. Keep up the good work.
Great movie, though the historical accuracy has its challenges. Hari Jones was the curator of the African American Civil War memorial. His Ted Talk is on RUclips.
Well done, good interpretation. Thank you.
Next movie to watch is "The Tuskegee Airmen", it is about the black fighter pilots of World War II
What people don't realize is that Eugene Bullard, during WWI who fought for the French Air Force was the world's first Black fighter pilot in WWI. He was immortalized with Benjamin O. Davis Sr., and Benjamin O. Davis, Jr. (who led the Tuskegee Airmen) as Colonel Bullard in the movie Red Tails... about the Tuskegee Airmen. The Davis' were father and son, and were Black generals.. with the father being the first Black general in the U.S. Eugene Bullard was my great uncle and he was later honored by the U.S. Air Force and granted a commission to Second Lieutenant in the U.S. Air Force. If you go the U.S. Air Force Cadet Museum in Colorado you will see an exhibit to Eugene Bullard. There are plenty of books out there on the Davis' and Bullard.
As American, I must say, we aren’t all pieces of shit, so forgive us
It was fun watching you guys! Great job and new fan here!
I.m surprised that you didn't comment on the similarity to the army of the British East India Company ,where the officers were all white Englishmen . Then later the Indian regiments in the British Army had almost all white officers . Even today the Gurkha regiments in the British Army have white Britrish officers .Incidentally the army of the British East India Company ,a corporate , NOT ,a national army ,was at its peak the 3rd or 4th largest army in the world .
lincoln starring daniel day lewis is a great movie to watch
The battle at the beginning of the film was Antietam, which is the bloodiest day in American history even to this day.
The reason why he didn’t order it is because he was a captain, the only officer that order it is Major or Colonel which is the leader of the regiment
🇯🇲 Respect 🇺🇸 🌎 Good 👍 Reaction
we must point out that at the end of the Civil War colored troops were not allowed to march with the regular army, in procession in the countries, capital and celebration of the wars end. Respect improved for some. The road is still long for all to have and maintain respect, whether by representative acts of courage, bravery and danger, or civil disobedience in the face of violence against one, we must hold ourselves accountable. Media this is paramount to that endeavor. Thank you for reviewing this film side military record show that the leading charge was the most effective one out of all of the supporting regiments that made up the attacking brigade and the 54th Massachusetts regiment was the only one who were able to make it into the fort and their left flank point of entry was noted having the most destruction to material and casualties for the confederates.
I can tell you would appreciate the best mountain man western: "Jeremiah Johnson" 1972
I enjoy listening to your reaction to movies this is one of my favorites. Another war movie i recommend is The Last Samurai starring Tom Cruise
If you are interested in learning more about the American Civil War - among many other subjects - you should do a reaction to Oversimplified's channel. He covers history with understated, amusing animation and a kind of cliff-notes approach that really makes it fun to watch and easy to remember. The channel is 'Oversimplified.'
Great review!
I'm sending you and a cup of 🍵 and a 🙏🏴🥰
Greatest film.
A full assault on a fortified position with inferior weapons was suicidal.
I love you guys. You're great.
