Abraham Lincoln's Emancipation Proclamation had freed over 3.5 million African-American slaves, and now the Union Army began to recruit a second all-black regiment of soldiers to join the fight. As the struggle against the Confederate South raged on, the newly-formed 54th Massachusetts battalion prepared to attack the seemingly impregnable fortress of Fort Wagner. The odds were heavily against them; the fort had never been taken.  America was watching them - and when the bugle sounded they marched towards the guns, flag held high.","brand":"Scotia Books","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":41039503982775,"sku":"9781782693055","price":6.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0570\/5629\/7143\/products\/9781782693055.jpg?v=1641429762","url":"https:\/\/www.scotiabooksonline.co.uk\/products\/9781782693055","provider":"scotia-books-online","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
