Character Analysis Of Thomas Searles From The Movie Glory

Thomas Searles:

Thomas Searles is a character from the movie Glory. Glory is a movie based on the Massachusetts 54th regiment, which was a regiment full of black soldiers who volunteered to join the civil war. His character had a huge impact on me. Thomas' determination is what makes him one of the soldiers who would stay and fight to the death. Even if Thomas Searles was born a free black man in the North within a wealthy family that was well acquainted, he didn't have any reason to even have to participate in the Civil war.

That is because Silas Trip was a runaway slave who was once tied to the unfair cruelty of slave owners.
