Set against the backdrop of the Civil War, the narrative focuses on the brutal attack on Fort Pillow in April 1864, where a diverse Union garrison faced a fierce Confederate assault led by Nathan Bedford Forrest. The overwhelming Confederate forces led to a devastating outcome, with only a handful of black troops surviving. The incident sparked accusations of a massacre, particularly against the black soldiers, and became a pivotal moment that galvanized Union sentiment and determination to continue the fight until victory was achieved.
