Summary: What an undying glory it is to read this book
Review: This book basically proves that without the help of black freedman, the war against the South could not have won. It's the story of the 54th Regiment, the first colored regiment. Colonel Robert Gould Shaw was commanding officer of the 54th regiment. The Civil War was at first a white mens war, but that didnt last long.The colored men came from 22 states, north and south. Most were in their twenties, some as young as sixteen,and many were in their forties. These black men risked their lives for the Union cause. At first they were treated very harshly because they were a colored regiment. Although treated like second-class soldiers, their gallant assault on Fort Wagner erased all doubt about their ability to fight. By the end of the civil war, however, tehy proved their courage and determination as they fought to free their brothers and sisters from slavery.
