Who are these ragamuffins?
1:14:07
Contrabands.
Right out the fields.
1:14:11
-Old man, where from?
-Massachusetts.
1:14:14
You a march better than we,
like the buckra soldier.
1:14:18
-Beg your pardon?
-Says we march like white soldiers.
1:14:21
Even talk like the buckra soldier.
1:14:24
-Where you from?
-Round about here.
1:14:27
We slaves in the field when
the Yankee-men come, say we soldiers.
1:14:32
How you like the Army?
1:14:34
We love it. We thank the Lord
for the vittles and beautiful clothes.
1:14:39
Tell true, this year,
every day like Christmas.
1:14:43
-Like what?
-Like Christmas.
1:14:50
My country, 'tis of thee
1:14:55
Sweet land of liberty
1:15:01
Of thee I sing
1:15:05
Land where my fa thers died
1:15:10
Land of the pilgrim's pride
1:15:15
From every mountainside
1:15:20
Let freedom ring
1:15:30
Splendid.
1:15:31
They've been working for weeks,
anticipating your arrival.
1:15:35
We're all excited
to have you here, Shaw.
1:15:38
Thank you, sir.
1:15:40
Lincoln's idea.
1:15:41
Hired New Englanders to teach our
coloured how to read and write.
1:15:47
Just your sort of people,
l should think.
1:15:51
The regiment
should enjoy their stay here.
1:15:55
l'm sure
we'll have a fine time.
1:15:58
But that's not why we're here.
