Extrait : Robert Gould Shaw (10 octobre 1837 - 18 juillet 1863) est un colonel de l'armée fédérale des États-Unis d'Amérique célèbre pour avoir commandé, durant la guerre civile américaine, le 54 régiment d'infanterie du Massachusetts, premier régiment d'un État nordiste constitué de volontaires noirs. Ayant tout fait pour mettre en exergue la bravoure de ses soldats noirs, il meurt avec près de la moitié d'entre eux dans l'assaut de Fort Wagner qui protégeait Charleston en Caroline du Sud en 1863. N'étant devenu célèbre qu'au lendemain de sa mort, la vie de Robert Gould Shaw est essentiellement connue grâce à son importante correspondance. Robert Shaw naît à Boston le 10 octobre 1837, dans une famille de riches abolitionnistes. Il est l'un des cinq enfants et l'unique fils de Francis George et Sarah Blake Sturgis Shaw. Vivant de la fortune héritée du grand-père paternel, Robert G. Shaw, son père consacre son travail au bien du peuple, en particulier à la lutte contre l'esclavagisme. On trouve alors parmi les relations de la famille des personnalités comme l'abolitionniste William Lloyd Garrison ou le futur gouverneur John Albion Andrew. Alors qu'il a cinq ans, son père investit dans une grande propriété à West Roxburry, près de Brook Farm où s'est installé une société utopique dont les membres aspirent à une vie plus saine et plus simple. Le père de Shaw subventionne cette société et est proche de son fondat...http://booksllc.net/?l=fr ... Read more
