A Civil war moving outlining the difficulties of the first colored regiment.

Rating: 9/10 (14 December 2015)

A movie involving a white officer seeing his first day of combat in the Civil war, which ended in a terrible loss. As he returned home, he was asked by his father if he would lead the first colored regiment. Though a daunting task he took it full faced and trained one of the greatest units to fight in the Civil war. Through many difficulties and racial boundaries he is able to supply his men with sufficient wear and gain their respect, and in the end his unit is able to gain the respect of the Union nation and due to their bravery demonstrated, the Union continued to enlist more colored soldiers.
A great movie, acting is a little bit off. The story and the main characters are spectacular and would recommend to anybody interested in racial difficulties and Civil war.
