No!

The Patriot is a white-washed version of a part of the American revolution. Benjamin Martin is actual a combination of some real mean and nasty dudes who were heroes in the Spanish Indian war; Thomas Sumter, Daniel Morgan, Andrew Pickens, and Francis Marion. These dudes were not nice. Supposedly, in real life, Francis Marion, a militia leader in South Carolina known as the "Swamp Fox." was "a serial rapist who hunted Red Indians for fun." Historian Christopher Hibbert said of Marion.

"The truth is that people like Marion committed atrocities as bad, if not worse, than those perpetrated by the British."

All of these people owned slaves and committed atrocities.

How do you feel about the patriot Mel Gibson movie?

I thought it was a good movie, but historically it is not true to history or the time. It is like a lot of the movies Gibson does. He likes to present his view of history whether it is accurate or not. As a historian this bothers me because people think it is real history rather than fiction.

Is the movie amistad historically accurate?

Most of the facts are historically accurate; however, many of the over-arching themes are not. For example, the movie leaves readers with the impression that the Africans were freed because the court determines them to be people, not property. In reality, the courts did view them as property but freed them because it was proven that they were taken from Africa, and the slave trade there was outlawed at that time.
