Glory of the 54th Regiment

Today during class, Mr. Armstrong had asked the students whether we had any questions for him about the Civil War. We had many questions about the 54th regiment and whether they had won or not. Mr. Armstrong had said it wasnt about victory but about how they fought hard even if there were many consequences like losing their freedom or even their lives. Then to continue on with our topic on the 54th regiment, he played parts of the movie Glory. I thought it was really ironic on how the ex-slaves were fighting to not be whipped and treated like crap, but they were whipped from the union soldier who claim they want to stop the mistreatment. Also, i really liked how the movie showed us the process of getting ready for the battles because in the textbooks, they only tell us about the battles and the winner and loser. This was a new point of view from the slaves and the officers.
