Though divided by tension and ideology, the soldiers and officers were united by the trials of war and the bonds they formed as they fought side-by-side. Together they forged a record of valiance and courage at Port Hudson, Milliken's Bend, and countless other battles as they defended the cause of liberty. It brings to life the story of 178,000 black soldiers and 7,000 white officers in the Civil War.
