Dear Mother:
I hope you are keeping well
and not worrying too much about me.
You mustn't think
any of us are gonna be killed.
For they're collecting such a force
here that an attack would be insane.
The Massachusetts men
passed through this morning.
How grand it is to meet the men
from all the states...
...ready to fight for their country...
...as the old fellows did
in the Revolution.
But this time we must make it
a whole country...
...for all who live here,
so that all can speak.
Before this war began...
...many of my regiment
had never seen a Negro.
But now the roads are choked
with the dispossessed.
We fight for men and women
whose poetry is not yet written...
...but which will presently be
as enviable and as renowned as any.
Last night we heard
of yet another defeat...
...but we are not disheartened.
I am honoured to be part
of such a splendid company.
They have made me captain,
of which I am enormously proud.
to see me giving orders to 100 men...
...most of whom are older than I am.
Thank you for sending
my volume of Emerson.
His words come home to me like truth.
''A deep man, '' he says, ''believes
that the evil eye can wither...
... that the heart's
blessing can heal...
...and that love
can overcome all odds. ''
My dearest love to Father.
Your son, Robert.
Fire!
Fire!
Steady, boys!
Forward!
For God's sake, come on!
Robert, come on!
We must fall back!
No! Morse!
Morse!
You all right there, captain?
Please! Not my leg!
Where's the chloroform?
Stop!
So it's the neck, captain?
The surgeons are all busy
but l'll fix you up right enough.
Let me know if l hurt you.
lt's nothing.
Heard the latest?
What's that?
l heard it from a friend
who's a dispatch rider...
...who got it from his friend,
one of Stanton's War Office clerks.
He says Lincoln's gonna issue
an Emancipation Proclamation.
Gonna free the slaves.
What?
Maybe not those in the Border States,
but he's gonna free some.
- My God!
- Yeah.
Says he would've done it sooner
but he needed a big victory.
l guess that's what this is.
Oh, my God!
Please don't cut anymore!
Please!
Please!
Am l hurting you, captain?
l'm sorry.
Robert!
Thomas!
Captain Shaw.
l was so proud when l heard.
They had no choice.
All the other officers are dead.
- And Forbes?
- lmpossible as always.
He's around here somewhere.
- How about you?
- Working for your father.
Helping him with
the Freedman's Relief Association.
There's a shortage of housing-
Are you all right?
Yes. lt's all right.
Darling, there's someone
who wishes to meet you.
slaves from the fields...
...called them contraband
and put them in camps, like cattle.
Then the War Department decided
to issue them pikes rather than guns.
Of course they deserted.
So would l.
Governor, you know my son, Robert.
- lt's good to see you again.
- Governor Andrew.
Have you met Frederick Douglass?
Mr. Douglass.
l understand you were at Antietam.
l could use your help.
The governor's proposing to raise
No, it was not just my idea.
Mr. Douglass has-
to those who've known only degradation.
Coloured soldiers, Rob.
Just think of it!
Wonderful.
l've submitted your name
to be commissioned...
...colonel of the 54th
Massachusetts lnfantry.
Thank you, governor, that's...
That's a wonderful idea.
Excuse me.
Well done, Shaw.
- Bravo, Robert.
What's the matter, Chester?
Too much punch?
