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.

Was Benjamin martin in the movie patriot a loyalists or patriot?

In the movie "The Patriot," Benjamin Martin, portrayed by Mel Gibson, is a patriot. Initially reluctant to join the fight against British rule due to his traumatic past in the French and Indian War, he ultimately becomes a leader in the American Revolution, fighting for independence and justice for his family and fellow colonists. His character evolves from a pacifist to a determined revolutionary as the conflict escalates.


Did the uniforms worn in the movie glory the same as the true battle uniforms?

Yes. An unusually historically accurate movie, with great attention to those types of details. The uniforms may have looked a little better in the movie. The real soldiers had been serving for several months in the blistering, sweltering heat of coastal Carolina, so they were likely a little more faded and torn.

How does the movie the patriot relate to history?

"The Patriot," directed by Roland Emmerich, is a historical war film that depicts the American Revolutionary War and the struggle for independence from British rule. While the film incorporates real events and figures, such as the character of Benjamin Martin, it takes creative liberties for dramatic effect. The movie highlights themes of sacrifice, leadership, and the moral complexities of war, reflecting the broader historical context of the revolution. However, it should be viewed as a dramatized interpretation rather than a strictly accurate historical account.

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.
