The scene in the tavern moreso shows how veterans truly are... The people of America like to think of our servicemembers as honorable people. Like boy scouts. While serving in the armed forces is honorable, and while the armed forces teach you honor, the men who serve, especially in combat roles, are rough people. Imperfect and taught to kill. They often develop hatred of their enemy, especially once they've seen what the enemy has done to their fellow servicemen. I understand both sides to this. You want to be above the atrocities of the enemy, but you also feel like they deserve it. While I was serving I got a chance to train with the Brits more than once. I had a conversation about history with one of their sergeants major. He spoke about how frustrating it was for the redcoats to fight the men depicted in this scene. How the colonials didn't always fight fair, used camouflage, and were menacing. No hard feelings in his end. He actually said that that taught the British army a lot. That our armies were very similar. That he respected us and I respected them. Veterans have been through a lot and seen the true nature of men. That we can be brutal beyond comprehension. There's a level of cold heartedness there. While veterans can be rough around the edges, our purpose was valid and actions during combat are justified (Usually). Those men were perfect for the role they played. You don't want a bunch of boy scouts in a war. You need good men who are willing to commit acts of violence for the right reasons to win...these men did just that...

[@attiepollard7847]

Who says we think of them as boy scouts? Some of them do some dirty s*** but that does not mean the entire army does it. The average finding man and woman knows that if someone surrenders then they must give quarter and take care of them according to the Geneva convention

Dumb line. This film is full of slanted propagandistic inaccuracies, and this is a case and point of one of them. Why? Because this isolated line - as one of several examples from throughout the film - acts as if there was never any sense of unionship or togetherness between American colonists and Britons - almost as if they weren't even from or of the same stock (which by far and large, they were). Don't forget the French and Indian War, for example, which this scene makes mention of, and which the film makes selective and revisionistic mentions of as it pleases.

There was no "American Revolution." A revolution implies the overthrow and replacement of the government. You may not have noticed, but the British government continued in power; it simply lost control of the 13 colonies. France had a revolution in 1789, Russia had a revolution in 1917, and China had a revolution in 1949, but the United States seceded from the United Kingdom in 1776.

[@STho205]

@@seanoreiley48 you're going by appearance and your own assumption from appearance....black people working a farm are slaves, right? However in the script the worker insists they are not slaves. Therefore, on a large estate they are tenant farmers or estate workers as they would be after 1865 by new law. For instance there were NO SLAVES in Song of the South because that was set in the 1870s. Those were all tenant farmers or paid workers, because Uncle Remus left at the end. Slaves can't just leave to fond waves and song. Though rare in the Carolinas in the 1770s, there were estates that did work without chattel slavery...and they were worked by black and white labor just as farms are today. The setup though in the script is to do white hat black hat difference between the protagonist and antagonist. They were content workers but Tavington sized them and "freed them" into chains to labor for the British Army. Gen Cornwallis did confiscate black people and put them to hard labor that he believed they were best suited to. They dug the defenses at Yorktown. When supplies ran low, Cornwallis had them turned out into no man's land during the siege, according to an officer's diary.

There was no Geneva Convention in the 18th century. In any case, guerrillas are rarely in a position in any war to take prisoners.

It is a movie, not a documentary. It is meant to stir emotions in the paying customer. There are many a fanciful UK movie or series about British soldiers in WW2, Napolean's Wars and others that are just as fanciful and one sided. That is the stuff of fiction. This is his followup to Braveheart, and is similar in style.
