How does the attitude of colonel Robert Gould Shaw toward African Americans change and why?

I don’t know


Why was Robert gould shaw important?

Robert Gould Shaw was a significant figure during the American Civil War, best known for leading the 54th Massachusetts Infantry Regiment, one of the first African American units raised in the North. His leadership and dedication helped challenge prevailing racial prejudices and demonstrated the bravery and capabilities of Black soldiers. Shaw's death at the Battle of Fort Wagner in 1863 became a symbol of sacrifice and valor, further inspiring the recruitment of African Americans into the Union Army and contributing to the eventual push for emancipation. His legacy endures as a testament to the fight for equality and justice.
