General Hood captures African-American soldiers of the U.S. 44th regiment.

His 40,000 soldiers outnumber the 850 inside: mostly escaped slaves fighting for the Union. The men of the 44th U.S. Colored Troops want to fight, but their white officers choose to surrender. They are treated cruelly by their captors. Many will die in prison camps.
