On July 30, 1864 a massive explosion ripped through confederate lines. The union had packed several hundered pounds of gunpowder below the confederates in a tunnel. A Crater was created. However the USCT (united states colored troops) who had been trained to move through the Crater and break confederate lines was ordered not to advance, instead a regiement of White soldiers went into the crater, they got slaughtered. The reason the USCT weren't in the fight was to avoid a political disaster if they suffered large causalties.
Im asking what would happen IF they were given the go ahead and went into battle.
