Frederick Broderick portrays Col. Elliot Gould Shaw, the commander of the all-black 54th Massachusetts Regiment. Other actors portrayed his staff. Another historical character was Frederick Douglas, the activist from Massachusetts. I'm not sure if any of the soldiers were based upon real people or even real names of soldiers killed in the war.
