the importance of shoes
'''Glory''' is a movie about a white [[New England]]er moved by his [[abolitionist]] sentiments to join the [[Union]] forces in the {{hl|American|Civil War}}. Promoted to [[colonel]], he is put in charge of an experimental all-black [[regiment]] of [[Massachusetts]] volunteers. His two best friends go with him (a white [[officer]] [[Cary Elwis]] and a black [[professor]] of [[literature]]<ref>He is an expert in the New England [[Transcendentalists]]</ref>), and the rules of military life strain his friendship with both.

For 21st century viewers, the white actors may be overshadowed by the performances of [[Denzel Washington]] - the tough-talking private whipped for [[desertion]] after leaving camp to find shoes; and [[Morgan Freeman]] - promoted to [[sergeant major]] because of his initiative in '''getting''' shoes for the poorly shod men.
