When the Articles of Confederation didn't show to many good results ,giving the states too much power and after all the pressure from king George to the 13 colonies ,finally people began reacting to all the abuses of the taxes and domain from the king and decided to declare the independence of the colonies. That's when people got inspired by a lot of different reasons and decided to either help participating in the army or in the different militias .

The history presented in the movie "The Patriot" shows the militias in it selves. People in the militias used a different technique as the army , being smarter than the enemy they used strategies ,like hiding behind the trees and then surprising the enemy attacking from the nothing ,taking their time to react as they would if they would be alert of the attack. Militias as shown in this movie ,were constituted by mostly farmers ,trying to protect their families ,most of them ,because they suffered from the lost of different members of their families, like the case of Benjamin Martin .They didn't have uniforms like the army and the weapons that they had were weapons of their own .People in the 1770's wer

Is not that the movie is a Hollywood version that ignores history ,but it has some little intentioned mistakes ,changing the message of the movie. The fact that black salves are not shown all the time I doesn't mean at all that they wanted to change the movie ,its just that the movie is not about slavery ,is about the revolution in general ,most of all concentrated in the militias and that's one of the reason because maybe the director just showed one slave fighting to represent all of the others in general.

This movie can make you believe in the power that people get to fight when they are incentivated by something to fight for. When people get together and fight for their ideas they can win any army ,it doesn't matter how powerful the other army is in some aspects, but like the American army ,with intelligence and unity of all the patriots ,they can get what they want.

Women roles in the movie are not shown at all. What I saw in the movie is just that they were really preservatives in those times ,like for example when the guy ask permission to the father of the girl to write her , that was impressive for me ,but as impressive as when the guy comes back from the war and wants to spend the night with the girl and her parents have to sew him to the sheets ,so that they don't have relations before the marriage. That shows how women were so protected buy they parents at those times and how things change with the time. Also in the meeting while they were deciding if they would o to war or not ,women had no vote ,they just they quiet while men talked.

e being governed by the king ,whom used to impose taxes without the people participating in the decision of this. That was the main concern shown in South Carolina as shown in the movie. The British in the movie were the villains ,they were shown as monster without souls that didn't care anything but killing people and winning the war. Then when farmers and regular men saw this they decided to form a militia , which helped them a lot but also raised the fury of the British .They couldn't believe that common people without the provided training and powerful weapons could be smarter than them.

As in the history we learned we can also see in the movie the French giving help to the Americans in the navy .

Benjamin Martin as shown in the movie is a mix of a lot of men that fought in this battle like for example: Francis Marion that also used to operate in South Carolina ,Andrew Pickens that also was part of militia in South Carolina and Georgia ,he also had a big family ,but he had a wife.

When the American army was loosing their power ,that's when they decided to be united with the militia using the advantage that this people had ,intelligence ,and the most important the heart of truth patriot willing to fight for a lot of different cause by which they were inspired.

The Forgotten Experience tell us about a black slave that escaped and joined the British army ,so t
