The idea that this movie plays fast and loose with facts is amusing. I guess if people read something in a history book or biography assume it is factual. Don't be naive! People have always lied. People have always embellished. People have always twisted and distorted the truth to fit their agenda....be that selling their book or promoting their agenda or political persuasion or making someone look good or look bad.
shareWell, we now know they weren't true, much about the revolutionary war has been updated as the facts could no longer be hidden; there was no 'tyranny' or 'oppression', American English had the highest quality of life in the world, even more so than the English who were saddled with our defence. No", today we know the truth, that for the most part it was a land and power grab with an idea to get access to the west which the English had sealed off with the Indian Treaties confirming in perpituitity that all the land west of the 13 colonies was the Indian Nation's forever. What we did was nothing more than commit genocide for land and betray our own culture.
