POSTER #4
This poster shows american soldiers in 1778 and American soldiers in 1943. The 1778 soldiers seem to be looking at the 1943 soldiers as if the 1778 soldiers were counting on the 1943 soldiers to fight for liberty. This picture shows proof that even back then(1778), Americans fought for liberty.

By seeing how Americans also fought in 1778, it makes the viewer feel proud of America. This proudness and pride mixed, can make the viewer also want to take action.
