The Patriot: Guerrilla warfare HD CLIP

What’s happening in this The Patriot movie clip?
Benjamin (Mel Gibson from What Women Want and Braveheart) leads a guerrilla warfare.
Gabriel (Heath Ledger from The Dark Knight and 10 Things I Hate About You) sends a letter to his beloved telling her that the war continues but he can't wait to be with her, and that he thinks about her all the time.
At one point, Gabriel tells the others that although they are at war, they should be a little more lenient. For example, if an English soldier surrenders to them, they should not kill him.

What’s the movie The Patriot about?
In 1776 South Carolina, widowed farmer and legendary war veteran Benjamin Martin (Mel Gibson from What women want and Braveheart) wants to stay out of the American Revolutionary War. However, as he helplessly watches his family torn apart by the savage forces of the British Redcoats, he finds himself unable to remain silent. He recruits a band of reluctant volunteers, including his son, Gabriel (Heath Ledger from The Dark Knight and 10 Things I Hate About You), to take up arms against the British.
To protect his family’s freedom and his country’s independence, Benjamin will do anything. He will face pain, betrayal, redemption, revenge and love during his journey.

Americans were better Marksmen than their British counter parts because they had be using rifles since early childhood. Most men in the British army never held a weapon until they were in the Army.

[@KingAdrock420]

@@johnharris6655 At that time none of the British army used rifles. They had all muskets. Not all colonials had rifles, or even really many of them; but enough did that it gave a noticeable advantage. A contemporary rifle was accurate for 100 yards in the hand of a competent shooter, and much further for a true marksman. Regardless of skill a smoothbore musket couldn't hit an elephant at 100 yards. As shown in this clip and throughout the film, the colonials intentionally shot officers first. This was seen as dirty fighting by the British, but it was extremely effective. Famously at the Battle of Saratogo, a sharpshooter mortally wounded a British general from the then unheard of distance of over 300 yards.

[@trapperscout2046]

Within 50 yards (as all of these small battles seem to be) you can still shoot with good accuracy using a smoothbore musket.

The first time many members of the British Military ever handled a Musket or other fire arm is when they joined the army. Firearms were often restricted to the Aristocracy for fear of the commoners using them to over throw the King, hence the 2nd Amendment. The first time most men in the Continental Army handled a Musket is when they were a young boy and needed to hunt to eat. A British General once commented that Americans were far better marksmen than their British counterparts and were better at reloading and shooting. Face in the colonies, you took a gun with you every where you went.

The word "guerrilla" didn't enter the English language until the early 19th Century. It comes from Spanish, which means "little war", and it was adopted by the British when they assisted the Spaniards during the Napoleonic wars, since it was the word the Spaniards used to describe the tactics use by the Spanish militia to fight back against the French troops when they occupied Spain. Not really a mistake in the movie, since the word is never uttered in it.

I’d need to see the whole movie again as it’s been YEARS and I don’t exactly remember the entire story or timeline the whole movie encompasses. But I’m assuming this movie was following only one single militia. Since it’s Cornwallis I’m assuming this scene is 1780 or 81. My only gripe with a lot revolutionary war time pieces is they tend to overdo exactly what Americans were able to achieve in the earlier years of the War. It took a lot of convincing France to join as they didn’t want to join a losing fight. Washington was notoriously known for falling victim to the same trap where a British army would break off into two paths, Washington would engage the smaller army inevitably give up his flank to a larger army. He was an incredibly poor battlefield tactician. He was however an amazing leader of men which is what we needed at that time when you consider how he came close to losing his army once it came time for them to decide between leaving or re-enlisting.

[@MrFerrell55]

The modern American conception that the British had no conception of irregular warfare, or that they didn't know how to deal with it, is a true testament to the power of historical illiteracy. I mean, it's not like the British had been fighting near-constant low level conflicts in colonial America for almost two hundred years by that point or anything.

Spain was involved in the American Revolutionary War, as much as France was. General Bernardo De Galvez supplied the Southern Colonists. The American Revolutionary War gave Spain the opportunity to reclaim Mobile and Pensacola, formerly known as British West Florida. 🇺🇸🤝🇪🇸

[@RagingStormGaming]

Guerilla warfare tactics the same tactics used by the Boers against the British during the Anglo Boer wars.
