    Thank you so very much for sharing this wonderful story of African-Americans serving our country in the Civil War. Then to gain some standing in the community in Northfield,Minnesota. Also,I'm very blessed to be reading a book called
    "The Ties that Bind," ("A Memoir of Race,Memory,and Redemption.") By
    Bertice Berry (Bestselling Author of
    "Redemption Song") I now know I have much reading and learning to do,but I also know that when I didn't have any active friends,I did gain two new friends,when I couldn't afford a roof over my head my slightly darker
    shaded companions,helped support
    me while I was all alone. Great friends,and I love those guys in Jesus' love,very sincerely.

    700,000 peak soldiers in Union army. Approx. 200,000 Black union soldiers. True number unknown due to mullato soldiers who enlisted by passing as whites. Think about that.

    this documentary is great but the rapping takes me out of the immersion.
    i cant be absorbed with modern music overlapping history

    It's the Civil War, and you start with that music? very disappointed in your historical inaccuracy. Not worth watching
