He played the role of an ex-slave who joined the Union Army as a soldier during the American Civil War (1861-1865). He had suffered beatings while a slave and he was very bitter and hard to control. As the movie progresses, he learns how to control his anger and vent it at his enemy. He joined the 54th Massachusetts Infantry Regiment. This was a real black Army unit and they fought a bloody battle at a coastal fort just south of Charleston, SC. The regiment lost a lot of casualties.
