Re: What about this JAKEo?? HEY JIM

A handful of USCT units were able to retain their state identity after a general order from the War Department ordered them to change to a USCT unit number. Had the 54th not retained its Massachusetts identity it most probably would have been forgotten to history with other USCT 160+ regiments.

How come they (the movie makers) didn't make a movie about the 1st Louisiana Native Guards at the siege of Port Hudson? A story just as heroic, maybe more so, than the 54th Mass? It maybe, and most probably because they would have to have to reveal the fact it started the war as a Confederate regiment.
