- Summary:
- First part traces the 1st African-American Union regiment in the Civil War. Some were escaped slaves who wanted a chance at revenge. Others were educated black men who believed in the cause. Was the Fighting 54th an elite regiment called upon for their gallentry? Or were they considered cannon fodder? Second part examines the career of General George McClellan. What was Lincoln to do with "Little Mac?" The brilliant Union General was removed from command twice for being overcautious, the second time at Antietam when he allowed Lee's forces to withdraw across the Potomac.
