questions about the movie “Glory”?

1) We know that antietam was the bloodiest day in american history, Describe the aftermath of this battle based on what Shaw saw and felt.

2)Describe the scene at the party in the governors offices. What famous American is there? what happens to Shaw during this scene?

3) Describe the variety of background of the new African-American solders that meet in the tent.

4) At one point, Shaw addresses the soldiers and announces a piece of legislation of the Confederate Congress. What does this legislation say call happen to the African-American soldiers and heir white officers if they are caught by Confederate soldiers’?

5)Why do you think Shaw’s friend (who is also an officer) protests agaist the use of the whip for punishing the alleged deserter (Denzel Washington)? Common punshisment for desertion (leaving the military camp) was to be flogged, or hit, but not necessarily with a whip?

What is it about the whip that is particulary bothersome?

6) Why do you think Col. Shaw decides to tear up his paycheck like the soldiers were doing?

7)Why do the troops burn the small South Carolina town? Is this allowed in war?

8)Why do you think Col. Shaw asked that his regiment be the one to lead the assault on Ft. Wagner?

9)What did the soldiers do the night before the battle?

10) Did the Massachusetts 54th Regiment eventually earn the respect of the other Union soldiers and officers? Think about the scene as they march toward Ft. Wagner.

    I love this movie! And I had to answer questions similar to these, but yours are wayyyy harder! but here are the ones I do know.
    6. Gen. Shaw wanted to show the soldiers that he had the regiments back by saying if you don’t get the same amount as everyone else, then no one’s going to get paid!(:
    8.Gen. shaw wanted his regiment to have some respect and he thought that if his regiment took on Ft. Wagner knowing how dangerous it was, they would finally get the respect they deserve.
    9. The soldiers talk about their families and what their fighting for because they know that most of them will not make it.
    10. Yes they did, even though half of them died, they got the respect from the union at least, you know how at the end the threw Shaw in with the soldiers? Well the Confederates did and the reason was because they thought it’d be a big middle finger to the union by putting a white general in with black soldiers, but they only way that would be offensive to you is if you were a racist like them.

    Well that’s all I got Glory is an amazing movie based on a true story, I loved it hope you did too.(:
