Excellent Revelation of History Not Taught in School!

Rating: 10/10 (18 February 2014)

This movie, just like "Schindler's List", is an eye opener! I had never been aware that a black contingent of Union soldiers ever existed. But, am I glad I was woke up! The story (just about all true) is historical, heart warming, and triumphant. To even think that such a regiment of soldiers, fighting against so many enemies, could distinguish themselves is the ultimate.
The performances by Matthew Broderick, Denzel Washington, and Morgan Freeman were just so, so outstanding. They certainly portrayed the events in superlative ways. I just hope this movie is being used in history classes in schools, especially in the US. It is definitely a part of US history that needs to be remembered by all.
