A perfect example of what the Conservatives want to turn our public school history lessons into

Rating: 1/10 (22 April 2020)

Movie: African Americans work of their own free will and have to be forced into British service
Reality: African Americans were mostly slaves and fled captivity in mass to join the British
Movie: The British locked people inside a church and burnt it to the ground
Reality: This wasn't done by the British in the Revolutionary War it was done by the Nazis in WWII
Movie: Stand in for Banastre Tarleton is a butcher who knows no mercy (as is taught in American public schools already
Reality: The closest thing to an atrocity that can be attributed to Tarleton was an incident where a musket accidentally discharged from surrendering American forces and hit Tarleton's horse pinning him to the ground. Tarleton's troops thought that the Americans must have been faking their surrender (They were known for defying the traditional rules of war) and opened fire.
This movie could have focused on real atrocities committed by the British like the prison ships, but apparently that's not enough to sufficiently demonize the British.
