Much how political cartoons continue to serve a purpose in propagating certain believes and perceptions in modern times, figure 3.7 portrays a women neglecting her feminine duties (childcare, kept appearance) in order to flirt and fool around with the men of the revolution in signing a boycotting pledge--this was an attempt on behalf of the English to negate the efforts of the colonies to establish its dependence, prior to the revolution. The women are incorporated into this drawing for the sole purpose of furthering the insult towards the male colonists attempting to gain independence from England. 

In Figure 3.9, you see a young soldier from the early days of the Revolutionary War. He is happy, his horse is happy, and the women carrying the American symbols of liberty and freedom is happy. The woman, by his side, is the key holder to the eagle and the flag. This is propaganda depicting the soldier's noble duties, the woman's "essential role" and reiterating the visual symbolism that is maintained throughout wartime publications--eagles, bells, flags, stars and stripes.

For figure 3.10, we are introduced to an angelic woman who has a close relationship with the eagle, a big symbol of American freedom. This drawing maintained popularity throughout the revolution due to the detail and beauty of the picture, and the symbolism of British defeat that is so evident throughout the drawing. Using a male soldier as opposed to a well dressed woman would have created a more masculine piece of propaganda which may have alienated some women and their impression that their role affected the success of the revolution.
