Title: A decent movie on the American Revelution
Product review: This was the first major movie on the American Revelution. The character Mel Gibson plays was actually Francis Marion "The Swamp Fox". The British commander Col. Tavington was actually Bannistre Tarleton, The Loyalist commander in South Carolina. The movie was inaccurate in some ways in its depiction of slavery, The role of African-Americans in the Continental and British armies, The non-existent role of Native Americans (particulry the Cherokees), and the role of Generals Gates and Greene. It did not cover the battles of Kings Mountain and Cowpens, which broke General Cornwallis' Western flank and drove him into North Carolina. It was a major accomplishment to bring this era on film.
