I completely agree with Ashbrooks statement, "By inaccurately depicting the 54th as a regiment of former slaves, Glory reveals the deeper truth that blacks in general were not the natural slaves that Southerners believed them to be and that abolitionists feared that they might be".The historical movie, Glory, strongly displayed what many of the white people of the time, believed of as the first black regiment. At first, the higher generals weren't letting the newly "freed" slaves fight, because of the fear that they would be giving the black men too much power. By letting them men fight, it showed that they were a lot smarter than what the southerners were thinking they were. None of these men wanted that, and Glory helped to display this concept very well.
