Col. Robert Gould Shaw is the 25-year-old white son of Boston abolitionists who volunteers to command the first all-black 54th Regiment of the Massachusetts Volunteer Infantry. Sgt. Maj.

After months of tough training and eventual small battle experience, they are lead to glory in their final assault on Fort Wagner in South Carolina.
