Glory II

The men of the 54th regiment were gonna be used only for manual labor. The supply guy was holding back on shoes and supplies because he didn't want to give them to African Americans. And the 54th regiment was expected to not fight. When they got their first chance for action they were put into some sketchy deal we're they raided houses and burned towns. Eventually they got their chance for the kind of fight into they wanted through, hand to hand and opposing forces, left Thomas injured.
