I recently listened to a podcast with Jason Isaacs who played Colonel Tavington that during the scene where he questions the people in the church before burning it he was originally supposed to just walk in and question them but he thought that was too out of character for such a monster. Instead he asked the director what the most disrespectful thing he could do in that situation was. That's when he asked the director "What if I rode into the church on my horse?" Such a great actor.

Mel Gibson's character is very loosely based on a man very well known here in South Carolina. His name was Francis Marion. The "Swamp Fox". His guerrilla tactics tied up and harassed the British Army for a couple of years here in SC. The Colonel Tavington in the movie is loosely based on Colonel Banastre Tarleton, a Dragoon, under the command of Lord Cornwallis. Tarlton is well known as being very ruthless and cold blooded. The final battle scene in the movie is based on an actual battle. The Battle of Cowpens, near the small town of Chesnee, South Carolina, which was a victory for the Americans, and the turning point in the Revolutionary War. Francis Marion was not at this battle, but Tarlton was. Also, Field Marshal Erwin Rommel of the 2nd World War, studied the tactics of Francis Marion the "Swamp Fox" and applied some of them in WW II and hence was to be known as the "Desert Fox". Playing off of Marion's "Swamp Fox" name.

Colonel Tavington was based on Banastre Tareleton who wasn't quite as awful as in this film, but close. He did order massacres of prisoners etc. I dislike that Charles Cornwallis was portrayed as a buffoon, because he was quite the opposite in actuality. And the last battle is basically a portmanteau of the Battles of Cowpens and Guilford Courthouse combined. All that being said, this is a great film and I loved your reaction.

This phrase was reportedly actually spoken to Mel Gibson and the other actors by the firearms instructor during the teaching of the proper way to handle a Revolutionary War Era musket. The phrase was liked so much by Mel Gibson and the Director Roland Emmerich, that it was decided to incorporate it into the movie. By the way, fantastic job on the reaction!

I was obsessed with Marion when I was in grade school. The whole reason he was available to train the militia was because he kept embarrassing his superior officer in the southern Continental Army. He literally couldn't stand being indoors or around large groups of people in his personal space and kept dodging social functions he was expected to attend. His boss finally got fed up and ordered him to attend the next party. At the time, it was in vogue to lock all the exits to keep the party going late, and Marion got so stir crazy that he jumped out of the upstairs window and broke his leg. His boss got mad and exiled him to the countryside to recuperate, and so he was one of the few officers to avoid death or capture when the British took Charleston.

The ruined monastery remnant was built in Cypress Gardens Park in Berkeley County, SC for Benjamin Martin's hideout. It was a popular wedding site for years after until it collapsed. Quite a few movies have used that park. "The Swamp Thing," "An Occasional Hell," "The Tempest(1998)," "The Notebook," for examples. I once helped relocate a pretty large alligator from there to a rescue site. Appropriately, Francis Marion was active in that area during the U.S. revolution, and I believe was buried in Berkeley County.

Guerrilla warfare was extremely effective during this period because of the way wars were fought. The majority of regular army were armed with muskets, which you could aim in only the most general sense and were designed to be fired at relatively close range from massed troops at massed troops. So if you didn’t present a single target to aim at, their effectiveness was only a fraction of what it should be. Add to that that frontiersman, hunters, and woodsmen were much more likely to have rifles, which were very accurate at much longer ranges and you can win very lopsided battles with relative ease.

South Carolina saw the most action during the Revolutionary War. It was also a brutal place to be during the war due to the personal vendettas that permeated the war in South Carolina. Gibson's character is based on the Swamp Fox Francis Marion, who was the one most responsible for keeping the British army in the south and preventing them from moving north to link up with the northern force and crush Washington. Francis Marion, however, was one of the only militia commanders who didn't allow personal revenge and looting under his command.

By signing the Declaration of Independence 56 Americans pledged their lives, their fortunes and their honor. It was no idle pledge. 9 signers died of their wounds during the Revolutionary War. 5 we're captured and imprisoned. Wives and children were killed imprisoned and mistreated or left penniless. 12 signers houses were burned to the ground. 17 lost everything they owned. No signer defected. Their honor like their Nation remained intact.

Hey girl!Love your videos! :) just wanted to say and I’m sure it’s been said, but the reasons they fight in lines are; for starters the guns they used were very inaccurate maybe a real effective range of about 75-100 yards. The reason for this is. The bullet(at the time was just a lead ball) was smaller than the barrel. This was good for a quick reload but when fired the ball would jiggle about the smooth barrel of the gun and come out. So not really great, but they found if you got a bunch of people and shot a huge wall of lead someone would hit something. The other reason is because the guns produced a huge amount of smoke and you need to know who’s on your team which is why they wore red as well. We see it and are like “that’s dumb” but if you can’t tell who’s on your team with all the smoke bad things happen. Hope you got to see this and wish you the best girlll!!

I am 100% sure the ridiculously over the top way Jason Isaacs played Tavington (a very inaccurate but highly entertaining and probably libelous portrayal of an actual character named Banastre Tarleton) is what landed him the Lucius Malfoy role in Harry Potter.

This is one of the most difficult movies to watch... but I think it should be required viewing for all high school students taking American History. It shows the horrors of war, the driving force behind it, the changes that it builds in men and families, and then the triumph of the spirit that built the USofA. My FAVORITE scene comes in the last battle, or right before it, when the bigot who has been giving the slave (Occam played by Jay Arlen Jones) grief the whole time... and he stands next to him... and looks at him and says, "I am HONORED..." I tear up every time I see it. Great job on the reaction video.

As villain lines go, “the honour is found in the ends, not the means” is a great one. It’s such a simple way of summing up his character. And “this will be forgotten” is a horrific thing to say while committing a war crime in front of a bunch of witnesses.

Colonel Tavington is based off Colonel Tarleton, who was known for his brutality in the South during the Revolutionary War. The real Tarleton often let escaped criminals fight in his units, including the infamous Harpe Brothers who enjoyed gutting and beheading their victims and later became serial killers and rapists in Kentucky. Tarleton eventually got his ass kicked when things got stabilized in the North and Washington sent Nathaniel Greene to the South to take on Cornwallis. He didn't get killed, though; he returned to England and lived a very long life, which was why they wrote in a different character for the movie. Funny point of accuracy, just like Tavington in the movie, Cornwallis often got mad at Tarleton for making him and the British Army look like ruthless tyrants. The British strategy was to win hearts and minds if possible since the South was more open to British rule. Tarleton's cruelty reduced the likelihood of that, and when Greene and Morgan managed to force Cornwallis into a surrender using stratagem, the South was onboard with the Revolution. Little sad part, in order to secure the South's loyalty, Thomas Jefferson removed the ban on slavery that would have been in the Constitution. So it would be slightly less than 100 more years before the slaves finally found freedom.

*18:01* the “rogue takeovers” you are referring to is one of the main things that won the war. It’s called Guerrilla warfare, and it is truly one of the few things the “rebels” had going for them. The British were used to fighting wars that “played by the rules” and followed a strict and stiff type of attack method. The rebels used the land as a weapon against the British. The red coats, for the most part, were not familiar with the landscape at all and the rebels used that to their advantage. Which I absolutely love.
