Answer 1

first lines; we see a battle taking place in the rain with white and black soldiers killing each other]

Private Harold Green: [voice over] Some of us was in the Second Kansas Colored. We fought the rebs at Jenkins’ Ferry last April, just after they’d killed every Negro soldier they captured at Poison Springs. So at Jenkins’ Ferry, we decided weren’t taking no reb prisoners. And we didn’t leave a one of ’em alive. The ones of us that didn’t die that day, we joined up with the 116th U.S. Colored, sir. From Camp Nelson Kentucky.

Abraham Lincoln: What’s your name, soldier?
