Yesterday, we talked about the Emancipation Proclamation., which freed slaves in states in rebellion against the United States. It didn't free slaves in border states or other areas under the Union military control. We read a blog post from someone who thinks that the Emancipation Proclamation wasn't effective enough and believes it to be "uninspiring." We also read through the Gettysburg Address and answered questions on it.
Today, we looked at the Robert Gould Shaw Memorial by Augustus Saint-Gaudens, which is located by the State House in Boston. We also took PowerPoint notes about African-Americans joining the Civil War as soldiers. They were granted permission to serve in the military in the Emancipation Proclamation. One of the first all African-American units to be formed was the 54th Massachusetts Regiment under the leadership of Robert Gould Shaw.
