'''Glory''' is a movie about a white [[New England]]er moved by his [[abolitionist]] to join the Union forces in the 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), and the rules of military life strain his friendship with both.
