Sweet land of liberty
1:00:06
Of thee I sing
1:00:09
Land where my fa thers died
1:00:13
Land of the pilgrim´s pride
1:00:18
From every mountainside
1:00:22
Let freedom ring
1:00:29
Splendid.
1:00:30
They´ve been working for weeks,
anticipating your arrival.
1:00:34
We´re all excited
to have you here, Shaw.
1:00:36
Thank you, sir.
1:00:37
Lincoln´s idea.
1:00:38
Hired New Englanders to teach our
coloured how to read and write.
1:00:43
Just your sort of people,
I should think.
1:00:46
The regiment
should enjoy their stay here.
1:00:49
I´m sure
we´ll have a fine time.
1:00:52
But that´s not why we´re here.
1:00:54
Well, I can´t promise you much action.
1:00:57
Having the coloureds around has
scared the bejesus out of the Rebs.
1:01:02
-Colonel Shaw?
-Excuse me.
1:01:04
I´d like you to meet
some of our instructors.
1:01:07
Dr. Thorpe of Salem.
1:01:09
-It´s my pleasure, sir.
-Pleasure.
1:01:11
-Dr. Rogers of Philadelphia.
-I know and admire your parents.
1:01:15
You do, sir?
Why, thank you, sir.
1:01:17
Shaw.
1:01:19
Meet Colonel Montgomery.
He´s your brigade commander.
1:01:23
-Colonel.
-Honoured, sir.
1:01:25
Colonel Montgomery´s
a real Jayhawker from Kansas.
1:01:28
The contraband regiment
is his brainchild.
1:01:31
You didn´t think yours were
the only coloureds around, did you?
1:01:35
I did, actually.
1:01:36
Well, l´m sure they´ll do just fine.
1:01:38
Have they seen any mischief?
1:01:40
No, sir.
1:01:43
I´m hiking a company to
the Georgia coast in the morning.
1:01:46
We´ll be foraging for supplies.
I could use a hand.
1:01:50
That is, if you think
your men are up to it.
1:01:54
They are indeed, sir.
1:01:56
Good. Very good!
1:01:57
It´s a pleasure.
1:01:58
Good night.
