Civil War films have been the subject of study by film studies specialists and historians but they have concentrated on the early years highlighting the iconic films The Birth of a Nation (1915) and Gone with the Wind (1939). The period 1945-75 has not received similar systematic attention, yet it is highly significant in American history covering as it does the Cold War and the Civil Rights Movement. The aim of the study is to show that history films can be used to assist in a better understanding of the past - not the 'past' that the history film purports to represent but the past of the moment of its production. This approach sees Hollywood films as untapped sources of evidence of changes in public perception about the issues of the day. This differs from the approach of most film historians who seek to examine the past by using archival and printed sources, such as newspapers, magazines and biography. The study demonstrates the complex interaction of the Cold War and the Civil Rights Movement on Hollywood and how they influenced the discourse about race and national identity through popular culture. Ultimately it was the Civil Rights Movement that had the greater influence upon Civil War films. It also shows that Hollywood's presentation of the Civil War underwent a far more radical process of change than has hitherto been understood. By the late 1960s all of the early twentieth century myths had been questioned and overturned and African Americans had become part of mainstream America.

While slavery was abolished and the Union was saved, not all the issues were resolved to the participants' satisfaction. What became known as the 'unfinished business' of the Civil War saw the 'freed' African Americans 're-enslaved' throughout the South by a combination of judicial decision, state legislation and intimidation.2 This racial subjugation was accepted by the North as an issue best left to those who had most experience in dealing with racial matters - the white South. It fitted the developing racial concepts of white supremacy and helped to maintain the fiction that America's national identity was wholly white - a position sustained by immigration policies until the mid-1960s. Against this background, the struggle of African Americans to achieve their constitutional rights has now been recognised as forming a significant part of twentieth century American history. However, the issues of race and equality raised by the Civil War continue to be just as relevant today as they were in the 1860s and in the 1960s.4 The subject of this study is how popular culture, from 1945 to 1975, reflected and represented that struggle and those issues through the medium of Hollywood, using the genre of the Civil War film.5 Popular culture is a product of its time and, as Peter Biskind says about movies, '(w)hatever their genre, they share a preoccupation with the pressing issues of the day.' 6 By analysing the Civil War films in this period, the debate over the issues of race and equality can be observed. At particular times the issues were discussed, at other times ignored; African Americans were sometimes marginalised, sometimes showcased; old stereotypes and myths re-emerged, new ones were created. These changes can be mapped against current events in society and demonstrate how Hollywood reflected and reacted to the fluctuations in attitudes towards race, equality and national identity, and can therefore provide historians, looking at the periods when the films were produced, with additional information. Historians using film as a resource to understand the past is a comparatively recent trend. Before the 1970s historians tended to dismiss film as purely entertainment as, even when based on actual events, films inevitably include interpretations, distortions and invention to meet the expectations of the audience. Whilst there has been some recognition that history films can provide some understanding of the past, in terms of 'felt' history, or giving new perspectives, most historians still look at historical films from a purely evidential standpoint - how does the film relate to the facts - rather than whether they give an added dimension to understanding the past. Ever since the Civil War ended, it has been used as a cultural symbol and vehicle, originating and reinforcing myths, inculcating American values and, by the middle of the twentieth century, as a critique of America and its foreign policy - especially in relation to Vietnam. Hollywood became interested in the Civil War in 1908 at a time when the white North and the white South had become reconciled, the African American marginalised and the Southern version of the Civil War predominated in popular culture and in academia. It helped transform a story of 'bitter sectional conflict into one of human courage and bravery,' assisting in 'reconciling the competing versions of what constitutes the United States...into a blame-free experience' to provide a narrative 'that would appeal to North and South alike.' 7 The Hollywood image portrayed a cultured Southern civilisation, a 'moonlight and magnolia' world, of large plantation houses, loyal servants, honourable, heroic men and beautiful, supportive women who were only defeated by superior forces. 8 Then followed the hardship of Reconstruction - the South ground down by northern carpetbaggers.9 This was the myth that Hollywood took and built upon in film after film until D. W. Griffith, in his 1915 film The Birth of a Nation (Birth), added the final myth that freed African Americans would revert to animalistic, sexual brutes if not controlled by kindly whites. 10 This representation of the Civil War remained unchanged for thirty years. Myths are important in society. They interpret the past to give meaning and value to life and present an ideology to defend the status quo. The truth, says William H. McNeil, is what people believe. Myths can become reality and, in doing so, blind people to other evidence. 11 What 'actually happened', says David Goldfield, and 'what people thought happened belong to a single historical process, and history and memory are indelibly intertwined........history is not learned - it is remembered, handed down.' 12 All the participants in the Civil War developed their separate myths and reinforced them through 2 rituals, monuments, oral reminiscences and history syllabi. David Blight has argued that three overall visions emerged from the Civil War: visions of reconciliation, white supremacy and emancipation. The first two gradually 'locked arms' to form, by the early 1900s, 'a segregated memory of the Civil War on racist terms.' But the emancipationist memory of the African Americans persisted, and its revival, through the Civil Rights Movement, helped to transform America.

    Premiere of Dark Command, Lawrence, 1940. Courtesy of the Douglas County Historical Society, Watkins Museum of History, Lawrence, Kansas. Kansas History: A Journal of the Central Plains 38 (Summer 2015): 108–135 108 Kansas History “Facing This Vast Hardness”: The Plains Landscape and the People Shaped by It in Recent Kansas/Plains Film edited and introduced by Thomas Prasch ut the great fact was the land itself which seemed to overwhelm the little beginnings of human society that struggled in its sombre wastes. It was from facing this vast hardness that the boy’s mouth had become so “ bitter; because he felt that men were too weak to make any mark here, that the land wanted to be let alone, to preserve its own fierce strength, its peculiar, savage kind of beauty, its uninterrupted mournfulness” (Willa Cather, O Pioneers! [1913], p. 15): so the young boy Emil, looking out at twilight from the wagon that bears him backB to his homestead, sees the prairie landscape with which his family, like all the pioneers scattered in its vastness, must grapple. And in that contest between humanity and land, the land often triumphed, driving would-be settlers off, or into madness. Indeed, madness haunts the pages of Cather’s tale, from the quirks of “Crazy Ivar” to the insanity that leads Frank Shabata down the road to murder and prison. “Prairie madness”: the idea haunts the literature and memoirs of the early Great Plains settlers, returns with a vengeance during the Dust Bowl 1930s, and surfaces with striking regularity even in recent writing of and about the plains.

  • P(Sophomore Or Junior) = ______**
    Activity #4: Probability Rules, Discrete Random Variables, Conditional Probability, and Bayes’ Theorem 1. In a class of 25 students, 10 are sophomores and 15 are juniors. Furthermore, 11 of the students are engineering majors, while 3 sophomores are engineering majors. Let’s use simple probability rules to calculate basic probabilities. If we randomly choose one of these 25 students: P(sophomore) = _______________________ __________ ≤ P(math major) ≤ __________ * P(freshman) = _______________________ P(sophomore or junior) = _____________** P(not an engineering major) = P(engineering major)’ = _______________________________*** From this simple example, we can generalize basic facts about probabilities. For any event A in sample space S: • 0 ≤ P(A) ≤ 1 Every probability is a number between 0 and 1 •• P(S) = 1 The probability of the entire sample space is 1.0 (or the sum of all probabilities 1.0) ••• P(A)’ = 1 – P(A) Complement Rule (the complement of A is defined to be “event A does not occur”) Try these: P(engineering major or sophomore) = P(engineering ∪ sophomore) =_____________________ P(junior and not an engineering major) = P(junior ∩ engineering’) =_______________________ 2. Those probabilities were a bit more difficult to calculate with the way the information was given. We can simplify our calculations if we organize information in one of two ways: Venn Diagrams or contingency tables. Let’s start with a look at Venn Diagrams. In a Venn Diagram, the box represents the entire sample space. Circles represent variables (or categories of items). We shade areas to represent probabilities of interest.

DAVID What I'd like to do very quickly is give you a brief account-- much to skeletal and simplified-- of THORBURN: this conversational drama-- the way in which the Western film becomes a screen on which American values are projected, and on which American values are tested, and in which we see American values or assumptions undergoing certain kinds of transformation-- certain kinds of change. I don't expect you to remember these titles or all of these titles although the ones I talk about you might think about. And this is very far from a complete list of films. It's just a list of highlights. But I want to give you a sense of, first-- that the Western film is at the center of movies at every phase of the history of the medium. And as we've noted, one might argue that one of the very first films-- some people have called it the first narrative film although that's a slight exaggeration-- but one of the most fundamental founding documents in the history of movies is, of course, a Western. If not its first story-- film-- one of the earliest narrative films was a Western. And we might note, in fact, that Western, The Great Train Robbery, was also based itself, not on-- although it has mythologized and fictionized-- The Great Train Robbery is based on a historical actuality-- on a robbery that was very widely covered in the press about which dime novels were written and which became a site of many films-- the first one The Great Train Robbery.
