Back
in the 1860s, the United States almost broke apart to form two countries.
The southern states wanted to break free in order to govern themselves.
They declared was after President Lincoln signed a law to free all the
slaves. Many African Americans who were living in Massachusetts joined
the army and vowed to help keep the United States together. This
is the story of the 54th Regiment and their first battle in what would
be a long war. |
