What attitude did white soldiers have about the 54th? Did these attitudes change and why?

1 answer:

7 0

White people were apprehensive about the African-American soldiers. They didn't think that the soldiers were that good as soldiers since they didn't serve in a military and were new to all of the things in war. They also didn't consider themselves to be equal to them since they were white and the people in question were still African-American.

Some attitudes changed and some didn't. Although most of them still remained racists according to our contemporary understanding of the world, they did appreciate the african-american effort in the war since the african-americans worked hard and fought for the union and helped them win the war.

We have before us one of the most important duties of Congress, and that is to decide whether or not we will be involved in war.

ValentinkaMS [17]

The correct answer to this open question is the following.

The power of Congress that Senator Paul probably most concerned about based on this passage is the Power to Declare War.

The United States Constitution states on Article I, section clause 1, that the United States Congress has the power to declare war. The Constitution grants Congress with expressed powers and this is one of them. That is why Senator Rand Paul is reflecting on the great responsibility Congress has regarding thus power of declaring war against another nation.
