Adams goes to Benjamin Franklin for help getting congress to listen to him and Franklin suggests that they get Richard Henry Lee to propose Independence instead of Adams, because the congressmen like Lee more than Adams. Richard Lee then proceeds to go to his home colony of Virginia to get approval for the resolution. Lee comes back to Philadelphia

The Patriot also displays this during an assembly to decide whether South Carolina would help in the Revolutionary War by raising troops by levy. One reason presented in this scene is when a man says, “Our rights are being threatened by a tyrant three thousand miles away.” The “rights” this man is talking about is the natural rights they all believe

The movie, The Patriot, is the story of a South Carolina plantation owner, Benjamin Martin, who leads a local militia against British troops in the South during the beginning of the American Revolutionary War.

Martin, who’s character is loosely based on Francis Marion, the Swamp Fox, uses guerrilla warfare to cut British supply lines and attack outposts in an attempt to slow General

The colonist were English natives so their tactics were the same as the British army. The Continental Regulars would line up like the British and mimic almost everything they would do. The British are more trained and accurate so they would win every battle. The colonists were going to lose the war if it wasn't for Benjamin Martin. Colonel Tavington shot the son of Benjamin Martin named Thomas Martin. That fired him up and what started the rebellion using the militia. The first sight of the guerilla warfare was when they attempted to take his oldest son. He and his two

Movies are made to be sold and not history to be perfectly told. If movies include a complete history, it wouldn't be known as a movie anymore. However, it would be called a documentary, which most people get fed up of. So interpretations, exaggerations and idealistic scenes are added to the movie to make it more interesting for the audience. "The Patriot" is a similar film made during the modern day time about a time period in which none of the experienced the real revolution. Politically, socially, and culturally, "The Patriot" attempts to give a sense of the scope of aspects involved in the American Revolution. Despite succeeding in this regard, it still lacks details that reveal the true complexity of the mixed sentiments present in

Movies that are based on a book are not always the same. In social studies class, we read a book called Our America. The book is about two boys named LeAlan jones and Lloyd Newman becoming reporters and interviewing people in their neighborhood to show people what it’s like in the ghetto life. The movie that went with the book was very different. In the movie and the book Our America, there were many differences such as Principal Williams momentarily becoming an antagonist, Davis Isay was more important, and Lloyd’s life was focused on more in the movie.

The American Revolution is almost like the civil war but, it is split in three parts instead of two, happened in late 1700s. The movie, The Patriot, is a fictional movie that shows us the battles and life during American Revolution. Some people were forced to fight because their family members died and some did not fight because they did not wanted to risk their family even though both sides are die-hearted patriot. Family could make people do anything. The producers of the movie The Patriot, Dean Devlin, Mark Gordon, and Gary Levinsohn, chose a composite of different colonists, like Francis Marion, Colonel Daniel Morgan, Elijah Clark, Thomas Sumter, and Andrew Pickens, to make Benjamin Martin look better and the hero with no fault what-so-ever.

The most famous patriot at the time was probably the first President of the United States George Washington who led the Continental Army. Other famous Patriots included Paul Revere, Samuel Adams, Ethan Allen, Patrick Henry, and Ben Franklin. Or if you support the other side of the argument here are some famous loyalists. Since the loyalists lost the war, there weren 't as many famous loyalists as there are Patriots. Benedict Arnold was a general in the Continental Army who fought for the British. Another example of a loyalist was Joseph Galloway who was the Pennsylvania delegate to the Continental Congress but later started to work for the British army. Other famous loyalists could be Thomas Hutchinson (the governor of Massachusetts colony), Andrew Allen, John Butler (the leader of the loyalist 's troops Butler 's Rangers), and David Mathews (not the famous singer) (the mayor of New York City). He has to support both of the argument so it will not be biased and there have been some instances wherever the United Kingdom protected America, however, he was on the Patriot 's side Paine begins the pamphlet sense with comments relating to the govt. He sees that folks confuse government with society. Paine argues that society is typically one issue to try to form, where as a result of the govt. is "a necessary evil." Society fosters the fulfillment of our needs, whereas the govt.. is there solely to stay man from gratification his vices. If all folks

From the day you are born you hear the same phrase, “I would do anything to protect you.” A mother’s cause is to protect her child, no matter the situation or dangers it would put her in. The same goes for the brave men that fought for and embraced our independence; their cause was the independence of our new nation and justice for the courageous men that suffered due to the actions of the British. The men that fought in the war were influenced to do so by the authoritative words of Thomas Paine, The Crisis, Number I; Patrick Henry, Speech in the Virginia Convention; and Thomas Jefferson, The Declaration of Independence. Furthermore, in the movie The Patriot, Benjamin Martin uses powerful language and rhetorical questions to persuade people

The Patriot was set in 1776 in the colony of South Carolina. Benjamin Martin was a veteran of the French and Indian War, and since then he had been against fighting until the war began to affect his family. The first portion of the movie shows how Benjamin tries to protect his seven children and shield them from the war. However, when his eldest son joins the army he is forced to be involved. Benjamin leads a militia against the cruel British army to fight for America’s independence. He regains his patriotism when he realizes that helping his struggling nation will help his family.

The Patriot is a historical movie the shows the life of an ex-war hero, Benjamin Martin, and his life continuing on through the American Revolution. This includes his interaction with the soldiers and generals, his political stance, and his involvement through the towns. Because the Benjamin Martin is fictional The Patriot cannot be called 100% accurate, but that doesn't mean that other aspects shown were inaccurate. The Patriot demonstrates authentic knowledge of history militarily, socially, and politically.

Enemy of the State (1998) is a dramatic movie set in the American context, which critically analyzes the notion, and potential implication, of unrestricted state surveillance. The synopsis of this film is that a man named Robert Clayton (played by Will Smith) is a lawyer who had a chance run-in at a lingerie store with a former college colleague named Jason. Jason is in the midst of attempting to escape from some National Security Agency (NSA) agents. His home was raided shortly before this encounter, because Jason was in possession of a video recording that showed the identity of a congressman’s assassin, and the killer also happened to be a high ranking federal agent named Reynolds. Unbeknownst to Robert, Jason slips this tape into a bag that Robert is holding. The information on that tape could be very damaging to the NSA and so, as the title would suggest, Robert then becomes an enemy of the state.
