US history class we watched a movie about the 54th massachusets. I have a question from it that i have to answer, but i couldnt get it from the movie.
the question is...
Who was John Andrew? How did he help pave the way for black men to enlist in the war? Why do you think he wanted black enlisted men to be the cream of the North and not born into slavery?
I will not take your answeres word by word, i just need a general idea to write my answer. It would be greatly appreciated if anyone had any info.

John Albion Andrew was the Governor of Massachusetts, He took office on January 2, 1861, on the eve of the Civil War, and he immediately began to ready the Massachusetts militia for duty.
Andrew was receptive to the concept of using black men as uniformed soldiers in the Union army. Working closely with the Federal government and with Frederick Douglass, he authorized the formation of two regiments of black infantry, the 54th and 55th Massachusetts, composed of blacks from the state, as well as Ohio, New York, Pennsylvania, and other states
For an overview on his life aand beliefs.. See http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/John_A._Andrew

How do you spot your self whilst no-one else is around? If somebody defined you, what's the 1st image you think of of whilst questioning approximately that query? this is quite approximately you. What do you care approximately and how are you able to portray that for the period of a flag or image appears like the question and in ordinary terms you are able to actual answer that? Portraying something significant to you which you would be able to clarify will probably provide you super credit - how are you able to describe an eagle for the present president? solid success!
