Pretty much. Irish immigrants had vested interest in keeping at least one group lower on the totem pole than themselves.

I only have canyoneyes for you
I watched Glory in middle school, and a teacher had recorded it on VHS from a network TV broadcast. Montel Williams did an introduction in a studio, in front of a giant Pepsi logo. I remember at the end of the introduction, Montel said "And now, Glory, on NBC presented by Pepsi" and walked out of frame. The camera refocused on the Pepsi logo and held it in silence for like 10 seconds.

I don't remember much of what actually happened during the movie.

Sam Elliot is good but he's gone after the first act.

e: I like the scene where Jake Taylor gets all huffy with Ricky Vaughn's dad and tells him that no 15,000 men ever made could take that hill.

Quick sketch of what I would do



A bunch of rebel battery commanders mouldering in their graves just popped some wood.

The first artillery battery that ranged that thing would probably piss themselves laughing for 5 minutes then blow it to hell in the next 5.
