OTD in 1863, Union Col. Robert Gould Shaw and 272 troops under his command in the 54th Massachusetts Infantry were killed leading the attack on Ft. Wagner, near Charleston, SC. The Union would fail to take the fort, but the African-American unit proved its valor in battle. #Glory https://t.co/jrSfRRMYbw — PolitiTweet.org
