I noticed there was a difference between the Regulars and the Militia but I wasn't sure if that was the difference between the two. --Kelly Wuyscik | One more question - Were the Militias the groups of men using the guerrilla tactics?

| + | ''The Patriot'' did a good job of showing how uniformed and precise the British Army was, which is also seen in ''The Last of the Mohicans''. The movie also portrays the brutality of the war, not only the soldiers who suffered fighting on the line and endured harsh winters, but also the effect the war had on civilians. Many of the fighting was done on farms and in front/ behind people's homes which ultimately led to many homes being destroyed. I am curious though, would the colonists also have had uniforms? --Mallory C. | ||

| + | I couldn't help but make some references to ''Braveheart'' while watching ''The Patriot'': When Mel Gibson is running out of his burning house with weapons in hand and also towards the end when Mel Gibson is riding on his horse with the colonist's flag waving behind, he is riding up and down the line of soldiers, just as William Wallace did. -- Mallory C. | ||
