The Patriot

For those who aren't interested in History, but want to learn a little more about what the Revolutionary War was like, I'd recommend watching the Patriot. It obviously isn't a true story, but it is modeled after what Francis Marion and Daniel Morgan acheived fighting in the South. I know that not everyone is interested in what may seem interesting to me, so sometimes finding another way to explain things is the best. A good way to do this is to watch movies, as most people can follow along and learn from watching movies.

The movie stars Mel Gibson and Heath Ledger, and came out in theatres in 2000. Even just reading the preview, or watching clips can help if you'd like to know more about it.
