Thank you to the 54th! Your bravery will never be forgotten.
11.11. Salute. No Doubt.
they were brave. They were courageous. They were the 54th Massachusetts.
No they were stupid
I was born and raised in South Jersey, 40 years ago I found a button in a local sand pit, it has a gloved hand, holding a saber, and it says...Massachusetts Volunteer Militia around the edges of it. I would like to learn more about it, and would love to know how it ended up in a sand pit in New Jersey!
Heroes. Every last one if them
Proud to be from Massachusetts. Proud of these soldiers for joining to help in the war effort
dito! there is sooooo much to be proud of in Massachusetts history!
Being someone that grew up in Boston and in the Boston area every time I go to the commons I always take a look at the monument of Robert Shaw and the 54th
Good men fight what's right. God bless these men
Always a 4 minutes well spent. Thank you.
I wish every American would learn about the 54th. God Bless every one of them, heroes never die.
Absolute legends.
This monument was vandalized the other day 0:12
Disgusting act, people need to research for more than 5 seconds before they attack a certain monument or statue
@@WalkerKinsler Amen to that man! They need to dig deeper instead of shrieking to high heaven about something they pretend to know about and then lecture others about that same thing!
Really?
That's awful. Some people need to have more respect.
What else can you expect from liberals.
Glory remains my favorite war film and certainly in my top ten films of all time.
I'd argue Gettysburg was better, more strategic, equally well acted, but definitely a great movie
They were both equally great films that represented the best and worst parts of the Civil War
@@FutureCivilWarHero
Many "knock" Gettysburg,
but I love it ! 🇺🇸 What movie doesn't have bloopers ?
@@nickroberts-xf7oq point the bloopers. I've seen the movie prob 12ish times I didn't notice any.
@@FutureCivilWarHero
Me either, because I wasn't
"nit picking". I just loved the fact that they filmed much of it on location.
If the movie had been released on July 18, 1988 it would have been on the 125th Anniversary of The Assault of Fort Wagner!
USCT an illustrious history of service makes me glad to be a veteran of the United States armed forces.
Thanks for the history homework answers😂😂
Has the monument been cleaned again after the recent spray painting?
I hope so!!
The monument has been restored and cleaned. It was finished a few months back this year.
3 year old comment I know, but who tf would deface a monument such as this.
In "African Canadians in Union Blue" Richard M. Reid documents the thousands of Black British North Americans who fought for the Union including John W. Moore a 22 year old gunsmith who enlisted while residing in my hometown of Dundas, Ontario. Moore was one of twenty-eight Black men from Canada West / East who served with the 54th. He survived Fort Wagner but was badly wounded at the Battle of Olustee on 20 February 1864. Moore was not a slave who made it to Canada via the Underground Railway he was born in Canada.
Fun Fact: During The Vietnam War 🇻🇳 Canadians believed in what the United States was doing in Vietnam! MANY Canadians asked their Government to send soldiers to Vietnam their Government ignored their request so 16,000 Canadians crossed The Border and enlisted in every Armed Forces of The United States! One was even a Recipient of The MEDAL OF HONOR! I only remember his last name Lemon!
I love this whole story
great website-succinct and informative! But no WW1 and 2?
You cannot deny their Glory
Excellent Video, good analyses, but Does others Regiment attacks Fort Wagner ? And When exactly the Fort Wagner fall ?
Salute and respect to the 54th and to col Shaw Lincoln gave the permission tor the 54th and black regiments because the south was kicking his ass and best civil war movies are glory gettyburg and gods and generals
@Chino Black - Glory, Gettysburg and Gods & Generals - in that order.
That place should be named after William Carney a great African American war hero
Three cheers for the 54 !!! Question tho ... did the 54 actually volunteer to lead the charge or were they chosen simply because they were a black unit ?
This a great question 😭 cause i was thinking the same
0:34 Echo Company 4th United States Colored Troops USCT Infantry Regiment
0:55 2nd Lieutenant James Monroe Trotter
55th Massachusetts Volunteer Colored Infantry Regiment.
Easily tied with the 3rd New Jersey Cavalry (I'm descended from a man in that regiment) for favorite regiment of the Civil War. Even though I probably shouldn't have favorites.
Weren't they nicknamed "Toussaint Guards"?
OH! Do a video about Calvary vs. Cavalry next 😊
I feel like all the statues should be cleaned up because it is still a piece of history. It doesn’t matter what side it was it’s history. Or in fact, put it in a museum to show what it was instead of showing it as a “leader”. This shouldn’t be vandalized. People need a reality check sometimes.
Because of you I have a 42 page assignment >:(
The 54th was NOT the first Black Union regiment. The 1st South Carolina Volunteer Infantry was formed in late 1862, with Colonel Thomas Wentworth Higginson commanding.
Waldenpunk I think there was another before that, during the end of the battle of Yorktown. It was a failed attempt, but it was still slaves fighting against the south and the British
1st Kansas Colored Volunteer, I think.
But thank you very helpful
im here for an assignment
There is a difference between "cavalry" and "calvary."
Cavalry refers to military mounted or armored infantry, Calvary is a dominion of the Christian church so far as my understanding
Calvary in Latin means skull. It was a rock outcrop in Jerusalem that resembled a human skull where Jesus Christ was crucified by Pontius Pilate in 33 ad.
What about the 1st Louisiana native guard US that was formed before the 54th.
who else is here because they have a social studies test tomorrow
What obstacles or signifigant hardships did the men in the Massachusetts 54th face that was not shared by other regiments?
itslearning?
Racial discrimination. Less pay. Made to do more manual labor and less combat.
Dude I got like zero info from this cus I’m so interested in reading the comments
😂🤣
AND STILL THERE IS A BELIEF THAT AFRICAN AMERICANS DNT BELONG IN THIS COUNTRY AND THAT WE ARE NOT EQUAL AFTER ALL OF THE SACRIFICES AND CONTRIBUTIONS TO HUMANITY AFRICAN AMERICANS HAVE MADE THERE IS STILL THAT PERSISTENT BELIEF WE SHOULD BE DENIED EQUAL OPPORTUNITY AND FAIRNESS.
Which has greatly diminished over the years. If you say anything remotely close to racism you're going to get beat up by the BLM.
@@2hotflavored666 Anything close to racism is racism. The idea that fairness for minorities being diminished over time is absurd!
I hate social studies my teacher makes me watch these videos
What
@@Deaboy-cm7sb what
You should be happy
Хотелось бы на русском послушать.
First I guess
Just another TH-cam commenter but we're you the first black regiment in the civil war?
Is that what the average youtube commenter looks like irl?
When I heard about the movie Glory, I thought it was going to be a race thing. But it wasn't, pretty accurate. But the main thing is it gets people interested into history and learning what happened.
How dare Antifa BLM deface this monument
@@bigboy-hc6ct no they actually did vandalize that monument
Did they "AXE" for directions?
Why on wikipedia it looks like the 54th got rekked by the confederate wtf
the 54th took heavy losses at Ft Wagner, but tore up at Grimball's Landing
I am surprised the Democrats have not ripped that down yet.
