    In the essay “Foot Soldiers of the Revolutionary Army” by Gary B. Nash, the authors of the book tell of a Private Joseph Plumb Martin that kept a diary that details the life and hardships that the soldiers endured. Martin writes, “The army was now not only starved but naked. The greatest part were not only shirtless and barefoot but destitute of all other clothing, especially blankets.” (Gary Nash 124) The blacks were involved given the chance to receive freedom, which did not follow through completely.

    Both The Battle at Elderbush Gulch and The Shirt can be contrasted by examining how they portray the idea of an ideal feminine image. The Battle at Elderbush Gulch portrays gender roles from a fundamentalist standpoint. Women are the mothers, while men are the providers. Native people are considered savage for not strictly following those rules. The film utilizes cinematography to contrast the white, female characters’ strong emotions against the violent events of the film. For example, at the beginning of the film, Sally and her sister sit in the back of a wagon and weep over leaving their home town. Sally has her arm around her sister in a maternal fashion, and they are placed in the left of the frame and given a medium shot. The camera remains…
