This movie is based loosely on the life of Francis Marion of South Carolina. He was called the Swamp Fox because he hid in the swamps with his men among them freed slaves & Native Americans. They would attack the British soldiers as depicted here in the movie. The Swamp Fox was very effective in beating the British army in S.C.

[@GardenFolklife]

Partial as Ethan Allen also served as a footprint for the character.

[@dukerollo1116]

And tavington is based on bannister tarrelton aka bloody ban. While most British soldiers weren't like tavington bannister tarrelton was but probably not as bad as tavington. And he survived the war if i remember correctly and went back to england became a politician.

[@Gunleaver]

Actually, most closely with Andrew Pickens, whose life story had a lot more parallel events. He was a plantation owner who gave his parole not to fight after the British took Charlestown, but when his house was burned by a loyalist mob, he took up arms again and became a guerrilla fighter. At the Battle of Cowpens, the final battle depicted in this film, after the militia fired their second shot and fled (it was a legit flight, not the planned retreat of the movie) and the colonial regulars engaged the British, Pickens rallied a large number of the militia who had fled the field and led a counter-charge against the British, much as Gibson's character does in the film. I think they were less vocal about that historical figure when discussing the inspirations for Benjamin Martin, because he was a slaveowner or otherwise unsavory to modern sensibilities.

I went to a wine growing estate in the south of France owned by the Comte de Grasse .When I met him , I asked him if he was a descendant of the Comte de Grasse who had commanded the French West Indies fleet which blockaded Chesapeake Bay and bottled up British General Cornwallis' at Yorktown forcing his army to surrender which ended the Revolutionary War . He answered that he was and he was very pleased that I knew some of his family's history .

[@crownprincesebastianjohano7069]

I liked the debate about fighting England. It was not an easy decision, and it was also a civil war. For years the Colonies tried to remonstrate with Parliament (who was the real power, not poor King George III). But one administration after the other refused to listen, though Parliament had a point: the Colonies had the least tax burden in the entire British Empire and the most local autonomy. But, the Colonies had no votes in Parliament. About 33% supported Independence, 33% were Loyalists, and 33% indifferent. It was hard fought war and a close run thing. Without the French the Colonists never win.

Up until the American Civil War, (1861-65) most people had more allegiance to their state instead of the nation.

[@52montoya]

The Continentals were the American or united Colonies army. The Continental Army. It was estimated that only 30 percent of the people supported independence, around the same number were Loyalist who supported the Crown, and the rest didn't really care because their lives were really being disrupted. Colonel Tarleton was a real British officer during the Revolution in the South. He was called "The Butcher".

[@kck9742]

Tavington was based on Tarleton.

[@johnmguzman7491]

I read that: According to historians, 40% of Americans supported the American Revolution, while 20% opposed it. Some estimates suggest that 40-45% of the White population in the Thirteen Colonies supported the Patriots, while 15-20% supported the Loyalists, and the rest were neutral or kept a low profile. John Adams famously described colonial America as 1/3 patriot, 1/3 loyalist, and 1/3 neutral.

[@johnmguzman7491]

I read (according to Thomas Slaughter, the Arthur R. Miller Professor of History and author) of the 2014 book Independence: the Tangled Roots of the American Revolution) That many Americans switched allegiance and changed signs during the revolution depending on which side was winning. For example, at one inn along a well-traveled road in New Jersey-what is today Route 1-the innkeeper would send a servant out to look down the road every morning and throughout the day. If an army was spotted, the servant was charged with identifying the colors and raising the corresponding flag to keep soldiers from burning down the inn.

Btw, the Frenchmen is supposed to evoke figures like the Marquis de Lafayette, whose participation in the war for independance made him a hero in France, and he would later become an important figure of the French Revolution, becoming the first general of the National Guard, who enforced the resolutions of the National Assembly. In many ways, the idea of an independent nation with an army in adequation with its people paved the path for many countries like Algeria to gain their own independance later in History. I'm a Quebecer tho, so still waiting. Them Red Coats are still up there in the Citadel of Quebec ahaha... When England invaded us in 1759, general Wolfe had pretty much every villages from Gaspesia to Quebec City burned. It's this war - that the Americans refers to as the "French and Indians war", the rest of the world refers to as "the Seven Years War" and us, French Canadians refers to as "The War of the Conquest" - in which the main character here has fought before the events of this movie (1776) and makes him regretful of what he did then under British command. The British certainly were ruthless... against us and our indigenous allied. They would later deport the whole region of Acadia to various places in the world... And Lord Durham later wrote a report recommanding our complete assimilation since we "didn't have any history"... So never underestimate what made Quebec so defensive of its culture against the Anglos.

[@CamoJan]

I think one of the big reasons the 13 colonies (before they were officially called the United States) won against the British was because the common folk had guns. We didn't have an army with trained soldiers like England but we had commoners that could shoot well! (Needed for hunting)

[@wolfgangkranek376]

Also those colonies were at that time only a minor territory. Other places where war raged maybe were viewed as being more important to the British. Especially when it came to fighting the French, or to secure Canada. Keep in mind the UK dominated enough to conquer Washington, burn it down and beat the young USA not much later.

[@karenpowell6063]

People in England had guns too .

[@albertmassingo4249]

Doesn't matter if the people in England had guns, the war was here

[@janetnwonderland]

​​@@karenpowell6063This is true. But the commoners of England were not the ones fighting us. It was the soldiers. In reality, if we had sent our military to England to fight against their armed citizens, there is a very good chance we would have lost. It all comes down to how determined the populace is. As someone pointed out, only about 30% of our own population at the time, were willing to fight for independence. Luckily, that was enough. And their resolve was enough that they were able to "stay the course." I would venture to say that those statistics may remain the same today. The question would be, how determined is today's 30% compared to then? Regardless, an armed populace of any nation has better odds of overcoming invasion and/or tyranny than any unarmed populace. It's just, what is their resolve? And let's face it, an unarmed populace is just sitting ducks for invaders and tyrannical governments. This has been proven true, time and again, throughout the history of the world. Governments who successfully disarm their citizens, while sometimes slowly and other times overnight, do eventually end up creating a tyrannical ran society with the citizens losing all rights. It is the sole reason that governments disarm their citizens. Power. No arms gives them complete power and control. However, it also opens that government up to defeat from an invasion. It is a fine line that a dictatorial government must walk.

[@flovonnejohnson707]

​@@karenpowell6063they're not saying that England didn't have guns, they're basically saying that if it was just the American soldiers like England had fighting at the time then America probably wouldn't have won. But the common people who were fighting just to protect their families and neighbors had guns as well and that made the difference

[@PowAngel]

When they saw the flag which has 13 stars, one for each of the 13 colonies, they were shouting "Hurrah" (means to show approval). Later during the civil war it was used in the song, "When Johnny comes marching home".

[@CamoJan]

"Huzzah!"

[@joykind4258]

Hurrah is from the French word hurra and means to shout (for joy) for a great victory. Huzzah is from the German word Hussa also expresses joy noting approval or encouragement. That's why you hear Huzzah! in rowing competitions. So, did they shout huzzah or hurrah? As i see it huzzah would be used in expectation, while hurrah would be used at or near completion.

I can't remember if there were 13 stripes with that specific flag or not but to pay tribute to the original colonies, the current US flag has 13 horizontal stripes along with the 50 stars for each state.

Desmond doss was born and grew up 45 minutes from where I live now and was born and raised except for the 10 years I live out of state being in the Marine corps, & 5 years living out of the state working with the veterans administration and we lived in Dallas and then moved all the way up to freezing Lebanon Pennsylvania. I'm 56 or 15 years out of my life is very little time. There's really not a whole lot to do in Southwest Virginia but it's a good area for going hiking and trail walking in addition to going mountain climbing but not the hardcore mountain climbing that most of us think of but essentially what does Mendoza was doing in hacksaw ridge. Climbing up on rocks and pulling ourselves and each other up on more rocks. It's a beautiful view once you get to the top!! I watched these two react to hacksaw ridge and they did a wonderful job but their reaction to this movie they can't go 10 seconds without saying something and breaking into the film which is rather interruptive.

[@therealjohnxerri]

The night battle scene when the soldiers turned their heads, they were sort of shooting blindly. They pointed their musket at the last target they acquired before turning their head and pulling the trigger. The musket of that time period used a piece of flint and a flashpan that would hold a small amount of gunpowder to ignite the main charge in the barrel. This flashpan was mounted on the side of the barrel, basically right in front of the face of the shooter. The resulting explosion of the gunpowder in the flashpan, while very small, could still cause hot powder to hit the face or even the eye. At night, as in that scene, the flash from the ignition of powder in the pan could also momentarily affect the shooter’s night vision. This is why you will see men close their eye/s or turn their head or both at the moment they pulled the trigger.

At that time only heavy cavalry (Cuirassiers) did wear some kind of armor. Btw. the term Guerilla war comes from the Spanish irregular fighters that waged war against Napoleons army when the French occupied Spain.

[@geoffreyreuther5260]

That armor was also not for protection against firearms, but rather to protect the rider from the enemy's sabres and bayonets. As this also meant they were no longer dueling opponents, there was a significant downgrade in amount of armor worn by heavy cavalry, which used to wear full plate mail, to just a breastplate (or cuirass, hence the word "Cuirassiers"). This increased the rider's mobility, endurance, and fighting flexibility, at the cost of protection to the extremities and the head. Firearms could easily punch through steel armor, so that's why it was used very minimally, and not worn at all by infantry until the development of flak and kevlar vests. (Pretty sure you know this already, just giving additional context for those who might not.)

[@JoeBurlas]

Wonder reaction gentlemen. Thank you for this. Inshallah

[@SeanSauvageau]

They called it "Gentleman's Warfare." It was a style of warfare refined in western culture, in which the two opposing armies would meet on a field of battle and fight in head to head and eventually hand to hand combat

[@danmiller4064]

Really like your guy's reactions, you should react to "Oversimplified" American Revolution and Civil War. Very funny, very accurate. I grew up in this country, and learned more from their half hour videos than 12 years in public school.

[@jefferyshute6641]

Yes, I was thinking the same. Oversimplified makes it more fun and easy to learn history. I highly recommend it. And, they have many history videos explaining lots of historical events.

The ax is called a tomahawk

[@texaspatriot4215]

Yes, a Cherokee tomahawk

The British did not necessarily commit the atrocities depicted in this film. There might have been crimes committed by individual soldiers or officers, but it was not part of British policy. Likewise, many American Patriots or those using the cause as an excuse, also committed crimes in the war, and in the demonstrations and political unrest before independence was declared or the former colonies started raising troops. In one incident, a mob in Boston attacked a group of British soldiers, who fired on them, killing several of the crowd. Many leaders of anti-British movements used the incident to drum up feelings against the British for massacring peaceful demonstrators. On the other hand, when they were put on trial, the prosecutor was a lawyer who was loyal to the Crown, and prosecuting the case against his own king's soldiers. Meanwhile, the cousin of one of the biggest agitators, and a supporter of independence himself, was the defense attorney for the soldiers, and he got them a not guilty verdict. That lawyer was John Adams, the first Vice President of the USA, the second President and the first resident of the White House. He served as an ambassador to France during the war, and later to the Netherlands, and after the war, as the ambassador to England. At the very beginning of the war, he was in Congress and on the committee to write the Declaration of Independence, and yet, he said that his defense of the British soldiers in their trial for murdering Americans was the finest work he did in service to his country.

Omg!! Two Arabs watching "the patriot" ok this should be awesome entertainment!

[@HABIBIBROTHERS717]

[@rozi2089]

Habibi brother on the left was about to tear up a bit @ 58:30 and you know what,... I was about to join you! 😄

[@kimberlyarmstrong2929]

So glad you watched this great movie. Your reactions never disappoint.

[@solvingpolitics3172]

Loved your passion.

[@nitaweitzel822]

Excited about the next movie y'all review

[@zillowzalo4653]

I’m not religious in anyway but seeing the respect and often sadness of other relgious people in the movie reactions. It gives me hope that someday every human in the world will understand we aren’t that different after all. Maybe I’m over thinking things. I don’t know. Just my opinion.

[@LauraSusanJohnson]

Thank you for a lovely reaction to this film ❤ Peace and love be with you both.

[@MomoBar91]

Braveheart would be a good movie to watch (it´s about a part of the fight of the Scotish for independence), Dancing with Wolves or The Last of the Mohicans, Last Samurai, my favorite will always be the Indiana Jones movies (the old three), Australia (movie 2008). I must say I just subscribe a few days ago but I already watched a lot of your videos. You have a great sense of humor and from what I can tell you are very good people.

[@albertmassingo4249]

They were not his slaves. They themselves said we're free we're not slaves.

Awesome review. I am at home by myself. I feel like the 3 of us are watching together. Much appreciated.

[@HABIBIBROTHERS717]

Glad you enjoyed it

[@oteroair]

Im new to you guys channel (i appreciate you both) with that said, you MUST watch BRAVE HEART.

[@roxysdg334]

I am a new subscriber. You had me an Independence Day and now THE PATRIOT ! LOOKING FORWARD TO THIS REACTION!

[@jarrettfinney4882]

There was a guy that really did this. It wasn’t quite as crazy as the movie, but the scene where he’s hiding behind the tree, waiting for them to come down the road to attack, that happened. They wound up stabbing him with a bayonet like 14 times and he still lived another 18 years after that, dying at age 96. Oh yeah, and he was 78 years old when he did this. Wild.

[@gromnokriptide]

I love to see the discussion trying to understand what's going on. And trying to understand why people would do what they do. Seeing intellectual conversation from outsiders is very interesting. I'm here for it and loving it. My Arabian friends we have a saying. "The Tree Of Liberty is watered with the blood of patriots and tyrants.

[@KoriconNala]

I LOVED your reaction. Although I have been taught about this part of history my whole life, it's very interesting to see it from the point of view of someone that was not exposed to it. Love your videos, keep up the great work. I would love to see your reaction to the movie "1917"

[@jayjackson5711]

Great reaction, brothers. Check out "Braveheart". Mel Gibson played the main character and also directed it. And "Apocalypto" is a great one he also directed.

[@karenpowell6063]

And this movie was filmed in beautiful South Carolina ❤ wonderful reaction guys 😊

[@g.w.hampton5525]

I really enjoyed watching your reaction to this great movie.. there are parts that are very hard to watch again but I stuck with it. My ancestors were here before the colonists and fought with them and also the colonists who fought in the war so I have an abiding love for my country. Strength and Courage to All Those Standing Up For Freedom!

[@connorthompson8376]

And also highly recommend reacting to the movie “Glory,” which takes place during the American Civil War. “Gettysburg” is another good movie about that war, but it’s a bit long.

[@jonathanb9037]

W reaction guys, subscribed.

[@randallshuck2976]

To understand the stories that were the basis for the movie you need to read up on Francis Marion (The Swamp Fox) v Banastre Tarleton (British Dragoon officer). The battle of Cowpens, and Kings Mountain. They are definitely playing loose with the facts on both sides. Good yarn though and the plan was to keep Cornwallis in the south was successful.

[@philmakris8507]

Very good reaction

[@bcase5328]

Flags and "standards" were rallying points for units because the smoke from the gunpowder made it hard to see in battle.

[@JeffreyCantelope]

The American Revolution against England lasted 7 years. Not everyone in the AMerican Colonies fought against the King of England. Some left the Colonies others tried to stay out of the way or fought for the King. The reason for fighting was that the Americans believed that they were Englishmen and deserved to be treated as Englishmen. They sent letters to the King asking him to treat them fairly and the King sent troops to occupy their towns.

[@liarosario87]

Hi guys; I'm Lía from the city of Rosario in Agentina (Lionel Messi's hometown). I recommend that you react to the 2016 movie "Hacksaw Ridge". Directed by Mel Gibson and starring Andrew Garfield. It is one of the most beautiful films I have seen in my entire life, (and I am not that young, I am 49 years old) I assure you that you are going to love this film; trust me. Blessings from Argentina.

[@stevesmith8693]

You two did not disappoint! I didn't expect you to understand alot about this movie. But I appreciate the fact you tried. Your commentary was funny to listen too as you argued about just about every scene. Thank you from an American!

[@TheYukonnahanni]

I love ya'lls reaction! I was so pleased to hear about how the wedding was similar to those in your religion. I find it fascinating. Maybe sometime you can watch Lincoln (2012), set during the Civil War?

[@DuaneHodges]

Salam Habibis, The Continentals was the American Colonial army that fought the British for independence.

[@geoffreyreuther5260]

21:23 - "How many bullets do they have?" - single-shot smoothbore flintlock rifles. If you had access to pre-measured paper cartridges that were starting to be available in the era, you could load and shoot 3-4 times per minute. However, they show Benjamin with a powder horn, which would have enough powder for approximately 30 shots and had a slower reload time. The boys are probably sharing a horn and shot pouch, so the three of them probably have 60 rounds total. 23:40 - Yes, that's Adam Baldwin. He was in Independence Day too, but for a lot of people their favorite role for him was in the series Firefly and the follow-up movie Serenity.

The making bullets, it was symbolism, the metal soldiers belonged to his young son killed by the the soldier that killed his younger son.

[@lonewiso]

"People united and is done" YES!

[@twooharmony2000]

Liked it.

[@Gunleaver]

BTW, the youngest of the Martin sons, William, the one who did not join the ambush to rescue Gabriel, was played by Logan Lerman, the new guy character in "Fury", with Brad Pitt, which I understand this channel has reviewed.
