Good Portrayal

Rating: Null/10 (5 January 2006)

I thought the movie portrayed the way the Black soldiers were treated very well. I learned a lot about the attitudes toward Black people during the Civil War time period by watching this movie. We watched this movie in my United States History class, and I think that watching Glory helped my entire class understand the pressure that the people who were involved with the 54th Massachusetts had to deal with. Not only were they possibly scorned by their friends and comrades, they also had a death sentence if they were caught by the Confederate Army. I really enjoyed watching this movie, and I think that anyone who wants to expand their horizons and learn more about the USA's history should take the time to watch it too.
