Read the passage from the letter, and then answer the questions. What does Mrs. Johnson know?



Buffalo N.Y. July 31 1863

Excellent Sir . . . My son went in the 54th regiment. I am a colored woman and my son was strong and able as any to fight for his country and the colored people have as much to fight for as any. I have but poor education but I never went to school, but I know just as well as any what is right.
