William B. Gould, a skilled artisan who worked on the Bellamy mansion as a hired-out slave, makes his daring midnight escape by boat with seven companions down the Cape Fear River past the river forts and the slave catcher patrols. He is one of 331,000 slaves in the state-many of whom carry on an invisible and subversive life out of sight of the white plantation owners. Gould’s band makes it to freedom, and he joins the U.S. Navy to hunt down blockade runners.

An immense sand fort guards the entrance to the Cape Fear River and the fairway to Wilmington, the last major open port of the Confederacy, through which blockade runners supply vital materiel for Gen. Lee’s Army of Northern Virginia. On Christmas Eve 1864, a U.S. Navy armada unleashes the heaviest bombardment in history on the fort, in advance of landing 6,500 assault troops. But the U.S. commander, Maj. Gen. Benjamin F. Butler, falters, and only 2,300 troops make it ashore in roughening weather. They are stranded on the cold beach overnight without shelter. In the morning, the fleet sails away. Just three weeks later an even more powerful assault force returns, including USCT, who will play a crucial role in the battle. This assault is led by Brig. Gen. Alfred Terry and after six hours of heavy hand-to hand fighting forces the surrender of the fort.
