独立战争期间,围绕美利坚战俘的战时经历,在美国形成了集报纸、战俘情况调查报告、战俘叙事和战时日记等方式于一体的宣传体系。北美革命者调动人性、宗教、权利等宣传话语,一方面生动呈现了英军对待美利坚战俘的种种残忍行径和英国作为“野蛮残暴的他者”的反面形象;另一方面宣扬了美国以仁慈和忠诚为核心内容的共和主义价值与国家特质。战俘宣传在鼓励美利坚人支持革命事业的同时,深化了他们对共和美德和自由精神的认同,促使其身份意识逐渐从依附英国转变为独立自主,成为推动美利坚人初步塑造自身国族认同感的重要力量,在独立战争的语境下有其独到的历史意义。
During the War of Independence, around the wartime experience of the United States prisoners of war, a propaganda system was formed in the United States that incorporated newspapers, reports of the prisoner of war situation, prisoner of war narratives and wartime diaries. North American revolutionaries mobilized propaganda words such as humanity, religion and rights. On the one hand, they vividly presented the brutal acts of the British military against the prisoners of mercy and the negative image of the United Kingdom as the “brutal brutality of the other.” On the other hand, Kindness and loyalty as the core content of the Republican values and national characteristics. While encouraging the Americans to support the cause of the revolution, prisoners of war propaganda deepened their recognition of the virtues of the republican society and liberty and gradually transformed their sense of identity from dependent Britain to independence and an important force in promoting the initial national identity of the Americans. , In the context of the War of Independence has its unique historical significance.
