I love how stupid Shaw was in this part, I can understand you want to rally your troops but you can give them a speech of fighting for the freedom rather than just charge and get shot by himself pretty stupid Shaw
@SuperWaveShredder It had nothing to do with respect, or a lack thereof. It had to do with preventing the spread of disease as the corpses began to rot. No commander wants to waste the time and energy of his men interring the enemy's dead.
@CPLWeeks do you really believe that? It is documented, not just by revionist northerners, that the commanders of Fort Wagner dumped the bodies like that to be direspectful.
@psadpoiafsdf I'll concede that any respect which may have been afforded white combatants would most likely not have been shown in the case of an African American soldier or his officer; but I do stand by my first comment as well. It's inefficient to dig individual graves when you're dealing with that volume of dead. I feel sanitation rather than racism was the driving force behind the scene.
@CPLWeeks I agree with you somewhat. However, Shaw's family wrote a letter to the Confederate government asking what had happened to their son's body. The Confederate commander of Fort Wagner responded to Shaw's family by writing a letter to them that said, "we buried him with his niggers." You can decide if that is meant to be disrespectful or not...
@SuperWaveShredder Your a retarded the union did the same thing to us and proudly admitted it !
Also Lincoln admitted he was a racist along with many of his dumb ass generals. While confederate leaders like Robert E Lee, Stone wall Jackson and Jefferson Davis were opposed to racism.
@SuperWaveShredder O really then why did he adopt a black son? I tried to look for your quote but i cant find it. Even if he did said that it doesn't make him a racist that just means he supports slavery for the south
@ZackAttack261 He also approved a law (without making any opposition) that any captured Union officers commanding black soldiers were to be on trial for treason and then hanged. Any black soldiers captured were either executed or put back into slavery.
@SuperWaveShredder Give me a source were he approved that law or that it even exist. If it is true then they are doing it because most slaves in the north were runaways. Even so slavery was starting to die anyway and there were big confederate leaders such as Robert E Lee that were opposed to slavery and racism
Sorry, I'd play this song fighting D. Yanks.... A Confederate Star ship emerges through the fog, giving air support to Confederate forces... engaged at the battle of Franklin, TN! I'm glad my Rebel ancestors fended off this D. Yank attack! Go Johnny Reb! :)
@lawnmowermanTX The Union forces about to crush General Hood and his army at Franklin, TN didn't see it coming.. A lone Intrepid class starship, entering earth's atmosphere, bearing the markings of the Confederation of Planets. C.S.S. Franklin.. NCC 1864-A.

@lawnmowermanTX Class, today we investigate what happens when nerdom is multiplied by nerdom. Star Trek fans are notorious nerds. As are Civil War enthusiasts. Multiplying the two bastions of nerdom together results in nerdom squared, or colloquially, the super-lame-gay-uber-nerdwank. The only thing that could have made this comment nerdier is if it had contained Spiderman swinging down with a script from Monty Python and the Holy Grail. Thank you. There will be a quiz later.
the charging had some many things against the union such as the sand witch slowed them/the confederates were in a fort/the confederates were elvated.yet thety still charged with pride not fear.SO respect those men.
Best Part of the movie is when they are forming up on the beach underneath the guns... and as they march by the same guys that started the fight with them in the forrest cheered them on because they knew how brave you had to be to make this charge. Powerfull imagry in this flick, they did the story and the Civil War Justice.
you morons know you're debating health care and politics over a song from a film that starred the kid from ferris bueller's day off. find something better to do with your lives.
you morons know you're debating health care and politics over a song from a film that starred the kid from ferris bueller's day off. find something better to do with your lives.
Even though i'm from the south and would have been in the Southern Army, I respect the 54th Calvary for all they did. They truly made our army available for all men and women to join and serve in.
@efan2011 its actually the 54th mass infantry, not cavalry. Furthermore, you mentioned it as being "Calvary", Calvary is a Calvinist chapel, whereas cavalry are mounted infantry.
@efan2011 Haha well if you don't like being informed then be my guest. Whether or not you want to admit it, you learned two things that you didn't know before. You're welcome.
Some of the strongest emotions I ever experienced watching a movie was during this scene with this music.. I still get them.
At 2:29 I was screaming at the TV YEEEAAAAAAAAHHHH GO GO GO GOOOOO!!!! YEEEAAAH! =DDDD but then at 2:49 when they get to the edge of the cliff and the shots are fired I lost it.... I was crying.. I felt crushed beyond belief because I didn't know what was going to happen.
we just watched the movie for a us history class today. oh man, this scene of the film gave me such chills, and I felt proud of the Fighting 54th's bravery.
From Crispus Attucks to the Bufffalo Soldiers to soldiers in Afghanistan today...people of color have defended this country with their lives from the very beginning. Even though America has been a hard mother to some, soldiers of color stand proud and fight bravely to defend her regardless...why? because even with all her obstacles and challenges, they still believe in America and what she represents...a belief that they are willing to die for!
my dad took me to see this in the theater when I was in 6th grade... And it changed my life. The bravery lives on today in our Army, which I have been a part of since 2002... and yes I have been there!
this track makes tears well up in my eyes every time i hear it. the piece represents the potential heroism in anyone. 1 day we will be charging our own ft. wagner, or in this case... that big ole house on pennsylvania ave. in D.C.
I get chills myself, feels like the little man going against management. RED ALERT!
All Hands To Battle Stations! Sacrifice of Angels! Deep Space Nine against the Dominion. Like a lone battle ship against an enemy armada. "Let's Roll!"
When my dad first put this album on the turntable and cranked it up (Saturday thing for him, records) this track was my immediate favorite. It grabs and doesn't let go. CHILLS!
This is something that transcends all lines, that skips all generational gaps; that understands all sacrifice despite time period. This is the ultimate give in the give and take. This is the time in which people called themselves Americans before any surname country. This is what it means to sacrifice all to the greater good of what we pledge every school day. I can only hope that someday, someway, people can understand why this song -- this dramatic cinema -- was made.
Fort Wagner was never taken, but the men of The Fighting 54th did not die in vain. Slavery was crushed in the cival war, southerners once again became our beloved kinsmen. The battle afterwards became against bigotry and intollerance, and even though it still exists, it's not as institutionalized as it was 50 or 100 years ago. But I think the biggest victory during the battle for Fort Wagner was 137 years later, a man of color was voted into the highest office in the land. AMERICA NO.1!!!!!
@Houdini774 - "biggest victory during the battle for Fort Wagner was 137 years later, a man of color was voted into the highest office in the land."
I think the biggest victory should be to bypass anything color related, that is, someone to look down on or to look up to. I always believe what Martin Luther King when he said, about not being the color of their skin but by the strength of their character.
@emmthreejonny I think he means that it was a great victory because the election of a colored man into the oval office demonstrates how far we have come since then, and also marks a triumphant step further in that direction.
@warningmode No, I'm totally for having a black president. I'm just saying it's ridiculous how they consider a person with "one drop of black blood" is considered African-American. It's like saying a person of both black and white race with 10% Asian blood is considered an Asian.
@Houdini774 i dont like obama at all. he lies to the U.S. people. im not racist, if he were white i still wouldnt like him. any other black man but him 0_o
@Mandalorethepowerful It was never in vain, the showed all of America that a black man can fight just as hard, just as bravely, just as strong as a white man. It broke a color barrier. That they were just as much a part of America as a white man, and they could love it just as much, and were fearless even in the face of certain death.
@TheCouragousGirl Unfortunately if you read further into wars as of World War II that was when integration really started. It was during the Battle of The Bulge. Eisenhower needed more men on the line so he asked for volunteers mainly of the African Americans to fight Hitler's army, After they had exemplary results from white officers and white comrades, that's when the color barrier in the army broke. They showed that African Americans in the infantry can fight.
@Mandalorethepowerful of course they didnt die in vain in reality but the fort may have been taken iff reunforcements were sent. They didnt die in vain in reality but froma a purely military standpoint they should not have charged without reunforcements.
To all who still support the rebs and declare the btlle as "we were "defending" it from the yankees know now that they saved america whom has saved not only you but the enitre world as president lincolnc said, "i give these men of color the credit for turning the tide of war" and NFL dude FUCK OFF
these men had the guts to run head long into hell and i am darn proud of em, you cant say north or south that these men were the best the north had. when i first saw this i got the chills and still do, R.I.P 54TH
Accuracy check: A general, possibly George C. Strong, asked, "Is there a man here who thinks himself unable to sleep in that fort tonight?" NO! cried the 54th. Then he asked the movie line, "If the man carrying the flag should fall, who will lift it and carry it on?" And it was Colonel Robert Shaw who answered in the affirmative. GIVE 'EM HELL 54!
Im southern and i think you northern should agree with me, at the Battle of Antietam, if Stonewall Jackson never got shot by his own men, the confederacy would've won the war. Cause at Gettysburg on the first day when the Union retreated to semitary hill, General Lee ordered Ewell to attack them while they are in their retreat. so that they are unable to fortify and they have to retreat out of Gettysburg, But Ewell thought his men were tied and didn't attack, so that's how we lost. Fuckin Ewell.
@NFLization naah, they would probably just delay the inevitably, the north were better equiped, had more soldiers, higher morale and they hired black people, wich means their armies continued to grow since former slaves joined them. So no, the south couldn't have won stonewall or not.
@NFLization No, South had smaller army, less provisions, less men, wouldn't even admit slavery was wrong, and were so afraid slaves would turn on them they wouldn't let them fight. The South would've colapsed financialy and we would of killed all your plantation boys. I don't even see why your bitchin, the North took the South back with respect, food, and open arms so... unless you watched hundreds of your friends and brothers get shot down, i'd like it if you STFU, STFD and educate yourself.
@TheCouragousGirl Speaking of someone educating themselves....Many southerners believed slavery was an evil, Lee among them. And south was welcomed back with "open arms"? Check a few sources and see what northerners thought of the terms given to Lee by Grant. They thought they were too lenient and soft. Also your speaking as though you lived during that time may confuse many people around you but you can correct that through taking some medication. Hope you get to feeling better.
@Blain1971 No, listen! The president it would've been cool, but Booth shot Abraham Lincoln and that was a pretty big deal. The point is, America(or the "Confederate States") would've survived without eachother, and you need to be loyal to your COUNTRY not STATE.
"GET THE FUCK MOVING!!! WE ARE GONNA TAKE FORT ONE WAY OR ANOTHER!" I've always wanted to say that when I'm leading a regiment like the 54th massachuetts.
I;m southern and a family member of mine was a confederate troop at Fort Wagner. He was at the point where the federal troops were charging up the hill into the fort. I think he saw Robert Shaw fall or maybe even shot him I'm not sure.
@Steve869100 me? how can you prove that shit. You hear thousands of people saying their relatives were on titanic, at gettysburg, in revolutionary war etc. Dude there were approximately 10'000 rebels in Fort Wagner and my grandparents on my dad's side live in Charleston, South Carolina. How do you not assume I'm telling truth. I AM TELLING THE TRUTH.
@NFLization you are also wrong about the size of the Fort Wagner garrison, it was between 1500 and 1700 men, I don't know how you came up with that 10,000 number, Wagner certainly was not large enough to sustain a garrison that large, so yes I still believe you are just making stuff up.
@Steve869100 sorry i meant the district of Fort Wagner, not literally IN Fort Wagner. Of course it's not big enough but there were another 8000 south and west of Fort Wagner not too far from there.
@NFLization there was no "district" of Fort Wagner, and actually it was not really a fort, it was really called "Battery Wagner", part of the port defenses of Charleston, today it is mostly underwater now.
2) Did you say your grandparents live there...oh damn man. Forget it folks. Argument over. His grandparents live there. No better expertise then that. We might as well all go home now.
@Sommelier97 omg fuck off. Read the whole conversation between me and that dude!!! I said there weren't 10000 IN fort wagner after, fucknut. don't just comment like that cause you know i really don't care when someones repeats what i say.
I love how stupid Shaw was in this part, I can understand you want to rally your troops but you can give them a speech of fighting for the freedom rather than just charge and get shot by himself pretty stupid Shaw

@Houdini774 - "biggest victory during the battle for Fort Wagner was 137 years later, a man of color was voted into the highest office in the land."
I think the biggest victory should be to bypass anything color related, that is, someone to look down on or to look up to. I always believe what Martin Luther King when he said, about not being the color of their skin but by the strength of their character.

@emmthreejonny I think he means that it was a great victory because the election of a colored man into the oval office demonstrates how far we have come since then, and also marks a triumphant step further in that direction.

@warningmode No, I'm totally for having a black president. I'm just saying it's ridiculous how they consider a person with "one drop of black blood" is considered African-American. It's like saying a person of both black and white race with 10% Asian blood is considered an Asian.

@dchris1990
If by 'gave us healthcare' you mean caved into pressure from insurance companies and lined their pockets then yes, you're correct.
If by helping poor americans you mean slashing social security while donating trillions to the super rich and wall st then yes, correct again.
Obama shouldn't be contrasted against nightmare presidents like Bush or Reagan - he's actually a continuation of their legacy.

@Mandalorethepowerful It was never in vain, the showed all of America that a black man can fight just as hard, just as bravely, just as strong as a white man. It broke a color barrier. That they were just as much a part of America as a white man, and they could love it just as much, and were fearless even in the face of certain death.

@TheCouragousGirl Unfortunately if you read further into wars as of World War II that was when integration really started. It was during the Battle of The Bulge. Eisenhower needed more men on the line so he asked for volunteers mainly of the African Americans to fight Hitler's army, After they had exemplary results from white officers and white comrades, that's when the color barrier in the army broke. They showed that African Americans in the infantry can fight.

@Mandalorethepowerful of course they didnt die in vain in reality but the fort may have been taken iff reunforcements were sent. They didnt die in vain in reality but froma a purely military standpoint they should not have charged without reunforcements.

Fordtough111 1 year ago 3
Accuracy check: A general, possibly George C. Strong, asked, "Is there a man here who thinks himself unable to sleep in that fort tonight?" NO! cried the 54th. Then he asked the movie line, "If the man carrying the flag should fall, who will lift it and carry it on?" And it was Colonel Robert Shaw who answered in the affirmative. GIVE 'EM HELL 54!

Im southern and i think you northern should agree with me, at the Battle of Antietam, if Stonewall Jackson never got shot by his own men, the confederacy would've won the war. Cause at Gettysburg on the first day when the Union retreated to semitary hill, General Lee ordered Ewell to attack them while they are in their retreat. so that they are unable to fortify and they have to retreat out of Gettysburg, But Ewell thought his men were tied and didn't attack, so that's how we lost. Fuckin Ewell.

@NFLization naah, they would probably just delay the inevitably, the north were better equiped, had more soldiers, higher morale and they hired black people, wich means their armies continued to grow since former slaves joined them. So no, the south couldn't have won stonewall or not.
Blargaha 1 year ago
@NFLization No, South had smaller army, less provisions, less men, wouldn't even admit slavery was wrong, and were so afraid slaves would turn on them they wouldn't let them fight. The South would've colapsed financialy and we would of killed all your plantation boys. I don't even see why your bitchin, the North took the South back with respect, food, and open arms so... unless you watched hundreds of your friends and brothers get shot down, i'd like it if you STFU, STFD and educate yourself.
TheCouragousGirl 1 year ago
@TheCouragousGirl Speaking of someone educating themselves....Many southerners believed slavery was an evil, Lee among them. And south was welcomed back with "open arms"? Check a few sources and see what northerners thought of the terms given to Lee by Grant. They thought they were too lenient and soft. Also your speaking as though you lived during that time may confuse many people around you but you can correct that through taking some medication. Hope you get to feeling better.

@Blain1971 No, listen! The president it would've been cool, but Booth shot Abraham Lincoln and that was a pretty big deal. The point is, America(or the "Confederate States") would've survived without eachother, and you need to be loyal to your COUNTRY not STATE.

@Steve869100 me? how can you prove that shit. You hear thousands of people saying their relatives were on titanic, at gettysburg, in revolutionary war etc. Dude there were approximately 10'000 rebels in Fort Wagner and my grandparents on my dad's side live in Charleston, South Carolina. How do you not assume I'm telling truth. I AM TELLING THE TRUTH.
NFLization 1 year ago
@NFLization so in reality you have no proof other than you had relatives that live in Charleston, really, really weak argument if you ask me.
Steve869100 1 year ago
@NFLization you are also wrong about the size of the Fort Wagner garrison, it was between 1500 and 1700 men, I don't know how you came up with that 10,000 number, Wagner certainly was not large enough to sustain a garrison that large, so yes I still believe you are just making stuff up.
Steve869100 1 year ago
@Steve869100 sorry i meant the district of Fort Wagner, not literally IN Fort Wagner. Of course it's not big enough but there were another 8000 south and west of Fort Wagner not too far from there.
NFLization 1 year ago
@NFLization there was no "district" of Fort Wagner, and actually it was not really a fort, it was really called "Battery Wagner", part of the port defenses of Charleston, today it is mostly underwater now.
Steve869100 1 year ago
@NFLization
1) There weren't 10,000 rebels at Fort Wagner
2) Did you say your grandparents live there...oh damn man. Forget it folks. Argument over. His grandparents live there. No better expertise then that. We might as well all go home now.
