Movie: Glory
<view this essay>.... at all, just muffled
by many people's views.
The 54th regiment was incorporated because people thought it would only
be fitting that blacks be able to fight for their own freedom. The problem was
that the blacks were still thought of as inferior individuals. This is why it
took so long for a black regiment to come into existence. A good example of
the racism that was still existent in the north is when the 54th met the white
regiment coming back and were called "nigger"s and were taunted. Another good
example was that Blacks were not allowed to go to military academies, and that
is why the regiment was led by white officers.

deserved this.'” (141). Othello changes even more dramatically because of the
poison suggestions that Iago has given him. He goes out of control and
eventually kills Desdemona thinking that she has did something wrong.

memorization and physical punishment for incorrect answers. Anyone who has been
"rapped on the knuckles" by a nun with a ruler can attest to this fact.
