What is the plot of Gloria, a movie available on Netflix
The film starring Denzel Washington is contextualized between 1861 and 1865, during the secession war which faced the Confederate Army (South) with the Union troops (North). The story focuses on the Black volunteer struggle for being accepted in the Northern Army and fighting those who wanted to perpetuate slavery.
However, despite being in favor of his abolition, the Northern Army was reluctant to accept them in their ranks, but finally a law that allowed it was approved. Massachusetts Regiment 54 was the first and the most courageous of the Battalions formed by blacks, and Colonel Robert Gould Shaw was in charge of organizing it.
