From Alexander Gardner's photographs, we can see the real condition of the country. For example, when he took photos about war, unlike Roger Fenton, he liked to show some horrible scene to express the consequences of war, such as the dead bodies are laying on the land, people are burying the dead soldiers when they become a pile of bones. All of these disgusting images reveal that Gardner feels resentful to the country at that time, and he wants to create a semi-socialistic colony.
