17. what does shaw tell the general he wants his men to be able to do?

They were brave as they fought for their own freedom

Explanation:

During the early Civil war Black men were not believed to be good soldiers. Black abolitionists wanted to dis prove it by conducting Fifty-Fourth Massachusetts where they made Shaw as the commanding officer of the full Black army. Those days it was believed that Black was born to be slaves of whites.  

When the generals said that the blacks where not strong enough to fight and they were not as good as the whites Shaw said that the Blacks learn faster than the whites and they will fight the best as they are more brave as they fought for their own freedom.

in all honesty, it really hasn't. except that hitler killed himself.

the exact role and status of women in the roman world, and indeed in most ancient societies, has often been obscured by the biases of both ancient male writers and 19-20th century ce male scholars, a situation only relatively recently redressed by modern scholarship which has sought to more objectively assess women's status, rights, duties, representation in the arts, and daily lives; and all this from almost exclusively male source material dealing with a male-dominated roman world.

women in mythology

unlike some other ancient cultures such as the greeks who had formed a creation myth where woman was a creature secondary to man and, more specifically, in the form of pandora, a bringer of unhappiness and vices, the romans had a more neutral approach where humanity, and not specifically the male, was created by the gods from earth and water. ovid's metamorphoses, for example, does not specify whether the first human was a man or a woman. at least in a physical sense then men and women were not regarded as belonging to a different species as in the greek world, a view often reiterated in roman medical treatises.
