In Clint Eastwood’s film, The Outlaw Josey Wales, horses are extremely prevalent. Whether it’s Josey’s horse or the Union soldiers’ horses, they are seen everywhere throughout the film. Horses are not frequent in the film just because it is an old western film; they are frequent in the film because they hold a great amount of symbolism. The most prominent horse in the film is clearly Josey’s horse, and it symbolizes a lot of things. Typically, a horse symbolizes ideas such as the spirit, freedom, or power. In the film, however, Josey’s horse represents a different idea: Josey’s heroic, animalistic and instinctive nature. When he puts horse down, when he rides to Ten Bears on horse, when he rides out of forest and kills the union soldiers on his horse

In the introduction, Hämäläinen introduces how Plains Indians horse culture is so often romanticized in the image of the “mounted warrior,” and how this romanticized image is frequently juxtaposed with the hardships of disease, death, and destruction brought on by the Europeans. It is also mentioned that many historians depict Plains Indians equestrianism as a typical success story, usually because such a depiction is an appealing story to use in textbooks. However, Plains Indians equestrianism is far from a basic story of success. Plains equestrianism was a double-edged sword: it both helped tribes complete their quotidian tasks more efficiently, but also gave rise to social issues, weakened the customary political system, created problems between other tribes, and was detrimental to the environment.

When the new nation won their independence however, the British wasted no time with informing the Barbary Pirates that the US ships were open for attack again.

The North African pirates had been a menace for so long that by the late 1700s most nations paid tribute to ensure that merchant shipping could proceed without being violently attacked. In the early years of the 19th century, the United States, at the direction of President Thomas Jefferson, decided to halt the payment of tribute (Jefferson, 2008). A war between the small and scrappy American Navy and the Barbary pirates ensued.
