A well-educated black man by the name of Corporal William Boston (Trai Byers) hopes to turn their racial image around by serving his country and integrating with his peers. Colonel Norton (Thomas Haden Church), a respected white officer commanding the 24th wants only the best treatment, care and utmost respect for his men, but is shackled by the constraints of society due to his commitment to helping the colored soldiers.Upon arrival however, the colored soldiers experience the brutal reality of living by the South's Jim Crow-era laws; constant harassment by racist whites, demeaning segregation in public transport and a severely bigoted police force looking for any excuse to mistreat the colored men.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_2'); })As tensions mount on both sides and more blood is spilt over a course of several incidents, fear and paranoia begins to seep into the minds of everyone cumulating in an unfortunate incident that led up to the events of the mutiny and riots of 1917, which saw one of the largest murder trials in US history. | |

Asshole Victim | |
| The 24th / int_8ed5c6e4 | comment |
Asshole Victim: The local Houston police, while horrible and physically abusive to the black soldiers, have never actually killed any of them despite their intent. However, the 24th Infantry later rolls into town and preemptively wipes them all out before they even get a chance to. | |
