Something that surprised me in
Glory was how there was a good number of people that supported a colored
regiment and not everybody hated it or at least almost everybody. I learned
that the African-Americans had a harder time in the army than the white
soldiers because they didn’t get all the supplies they needed or they were
discriminated against by the white soldiers. I also learned that there was a
lot of camaraderie between the African-American soldiers and they sang after
they were done training. I think the movie was mostly realistic but there were
some “Hollywood” aspects to it because it had to also be a movie people wanted
to watch and not just a history documentary but mostly it was realistic.
I agree that the African-American soldiers were discriminated in a way that made their life harder in the army, then it would be for a white soldier. For example, in the movie the African-American soldiers were denied shoes which they needed desperately.
