Summary It is 1776 when the revolutionist War began between the American Colonists and the British soldiers. The main character, Benjamin Martin, is a veterinary of the French and Indian war who wants emancipation from Britain, but is not willing to risk of infection the safety of his already motherless children by going to war.It was the British who had killed his wife and he did not want to put his family in danger as he did so once before. However though he forms a militia and goes around flavor for people in the colonies who are willing to agitate against the red coats which are the British because he knew it had to be done. He did not approve of his o ldest son Gabriel joining the Continental Army but Gabriel wanted to so bad that he went behind his fathers rump to sign up anyway. This caused problems for him because they found him and imperil him on his own land.Benjamin Martin helped wounded soldiers twain from the American array & British side and because of that he was viewed as a two-timer to many people. The killing of his son when the British came to his home caused him to react and want to go to war with them. The Americans and British went to war and in that location was a lot of loss of American soldiers and the French came to help them because they disliked the British as well and tried to period the British from trying to take oer other places. After years in the war the Americans finally won and were adequate to(p) to pass the Declaration of Independence.Benjamin Martin had finally gotten charge and killed Tavington because he killed both of his sons.

He is truly considered a hero because if it werent for him thus the Americans would hand never taken it upon themselves to fight against the British. The colonies became united and it was just the beginning of a good period of time.The Patriot is a wonderful movie that not solely has action and romance, but it has an important meaning. It gives us an outlook on the events that took place prospicient ago that eventually led to our independence and the states uniting. Without it we probably wouldnt have been the joined States like we are now and it baron have been longer before we would have been free from the British. I would unimpeachably root on everyone to watch this movie because you will definitely enjoy it regardless of your age or interests. Historical Accuracy In the movie, the Contine ntal Congress extends an order to break ones backs stating that if they serve 12 months in the Colonial Army, they would be minded(p) their freedom and be paid 5 schillings per month served. The Congress never all-inclusive such an order in existing life. Benjamin Martin sends his children and his family friend to a break ones back colony after their orchard is burn down down. Martins family is welcomed into the colony and there is much solemnisation at their coming. Although a few slave colonies existed, they were very secluded and most likely would not have taken well-disposed to a group of white plantation owners looking for shelter.
