Yesterday, January 3rd, we talked about the Emancipation Proclamation since it recently had its 150th anniversary, and we talked about the Gettysburg address. The Emancipation Proclamation didn't really do much, but it allowed the African-Americans to join the army and inspired the soldiers to fight. We need to memorize part of the Gettysburg address for a quiz on Monday.
Today, January 4th, we examined a picture of the Robert Gould Shaw Memorial in Boston and we talked about the 54th Massachusetts Regiment. The 54 Massachusetts Regiment was one of the first all African-American units in the Civil War.
