Would a young girl in colonial times have been allowed to speak publicly, as Gabriel's girlfriend did in church? She spoke very disrespectfully of her elders, and (good heavens!) about men. I know it was a plot device to show her high-spirited patriotism, but I do believe her parents would have shut her down right quickly. --- Deborah S. | Would a young girl in colonial times have been allowed to speak publicly, as Gabriel's girlfriend did in church?

| + | Here are a couple of items the movie did not necessarily get wrong, but flat out did not include them in the movie. This first has to do with the reasoning for going to war, the force quartering of British soldiers. This element was not talked about, nor was a soldier seen amongst civilians until the war had officially began. The second has to deal with the interior conflicts between the Loyalists and the Patriots. There were some different feelings about whether to stay loyal to the crown or not, but this was played out by a single character, not by the civil war in the South that raged between them. - Mike E. | ||
