The movie is based in the Civil war era on black soldiers in the military and how they fight for freedom even facing racial adversities.

Rating: 8/10 (1 January 2016)

I think this movie was excellent in telling how blacks were treated differently than white soldiers during the war an example is when they find out the pay difference of whites to black and how they boycott receive checks until they receive the same amount of money. They also show throughout the movie how some whites reflect on how they treat blacks. The movie tells a great story of a very heroic Black regiment that facing racial adversities still believe in the cause of freedom enough to fight for it. Enough so they fought in a battle in south Carolina that was considered suicidal but with extreme discipline and many loses they took they hill. This made it so the union drafted many more black soldiers into the fight .
