I agree, 4th of July is kinda a trashy holiday if we are being honest.

Ranking of trashy Holidays
1) St. Patrick's Day, 2) 4th of July, 3) Martin Luther King Jr. Holiday, 4) Ash Wednesday

I think the Patriots over reacted. We would have be fine under British rule. They were pissed because of taxes, it is not like we don't have that issue now. 4th of July is a very overrated holiday.




Sweet neck beard, Jonah Hill.

Guess you’ve never heard of taxation without representation.

Well considering the movie was filmed entirely in South Carolina, the rest of your story is bullshite.

They whitewashed a lot of the American side, and they turned the British into spawns of Satan.

Yeah, John Adams got all the British soldiers acquitted of murder because it was found that they were provoked by the crowd. But the event was undeniably good for propaganda purposes.

That he did, and I couldn’t imagine how a nation’s military gunning civilians down in the street wouldn’t act as another nail in the coffin for British rule.

And in the end, it took a bunch of farmers from the backcountry of South Carolina to finally get the job done. The one thing The Patriot correctly portrays is the importance and success of the southern militias in keeping the British stuck in South Carolina and preventing their advance north.

More engagements were fought in SC than in any other colony in the war.

Was this a documentary or a movie? Gotta love the people that hate a movie because it takes some artistic liberties on the story.
