    I love this movie. The scene that gets me the most is when Benjamin goes to ride off with Gabriel and Susan starts to speak, begging him not to go. Of all the heartbreaking moments in the movie, as a father myself, that one gets to me the most. I always get teary-eyed.

    While Braveheart is a fantastic movie, I'm surprised nobody is bringing up the film Last of the Mohicans, after The Patriot. It's set in the French and Indian War, the same war that Mel Gibson's fictional character (Ben Martin) is a veteran of. It has just as much of that guerilla warfare style action (if not more so) and some brilliant acting by Daniel Day Lewis (one of the finest living actors today). Also one of the most badass musical scores ever composed.

      They were going to make a straight biopic about Francis Marion (🎶”Swamp Fox, Swamp Fox, Tail on his hat”🎶), but then learned from historical research that Marion was one of the most vile people ever to come out of the era. So they made a composite character instead.

    • @tsdobbi
      @tsdobbi Před rokem +2

      With the exception of We were soldiers, everything Randall Wallace and Mel Gibson touch in the historical genre is full of liberties and bastardizations. Braveheart is basically a meme for not only being historically inaccurate, but they failed at even making it historically authentic (i.e. The scots did not paint themselves blue and kilts wouldn't be a thing for another 300 years).
      In the Patriot both the protagonist and antagonist were based on real people. Benjamin Martin was based on Francis Marion "The Swamp Fox". While an effective Guerilla leader, he was by all accounts not a moral man. Unlike the rather progressive abolitionist Martin, Francis Marion was a slave owner who was notorious for executing any black British soldiers they captured, particularly cruel to escaped slaves that defected to the crown (and be honest can you blame them?).
      Then there is Col. Tavington who was based on Banistare Tarleton. With him they just went with the propaganda and stopped their research. His reputation as a butcher came from one incident in which his men killed surrendering Americans AFTER he was shot off his horse by one of said surrendering Americans. He gave no order for his men to retaliate as he was incapacitated. This was confirmed by first hand accounts from both sides. Also, when he was able to collect himself he ordered his men to stop and give quarter to the Americans. However, the Americans used it as a propaganda coup to paint Tarleton as a butcher.
      Don't get me started on the Church scene. Nothing like that happened during the revolution. The inspiration for the scene was from an event that occurred during the occupation of France in WW2 perpetrated by the Nazi's. You can make a compelling British revolutionary war villain without going as far as making them a literal Nazi.

  • @twohorsesinamancostume7606

    Fighting was done in lines like that because armies would use muskets which had no rifling, making them inaccurate. If you wanted to hit anything you had to mass your troops up to concentrate their fire.
    Not to mention that they were single shot weapons that took a trained soldier 15-20 seconds to reload so when armies came close enough to each other the battle would revert to hand to hand fighting.

    • @matthewcharles5867

  • @CaptainRednose
    @CaptainRednose Před rokem +7

    12:20 you were almost there. The standard issued firearm for that time period was "smoothbore" muskets. There are videos on CZcams demonstrating the accuracy of of those weapons. in short, the historian stood 25 yards from his "barn door" sized target and fired enough "bullets" at the target, to determine the "grouping" of his shot (the size differential of where you aim, to where the musket ball impacted, along with measuring the distance between each landed shot).
    If I am remembering correctly, his "shot group" was between 3 to 1 meter(s) apart (no rear sight on muskets and he was standing in open ground - which makes it difficult to precisely aim) ... scoring a "hit on target" was about 50/50. So, to overcome the limitations of that technology, formations had to be close together, firing at the commander's order, so that each barrage acted like a large caliber shotgun - with no choke on the barrel.
    That being said, rifles did exist **(meaning: a rifle has a measured helical pattern of grooves cut into the bore wall, inside the barrel - to stabilize the " flying bullet" by imparting a spin to the projectile)** and were common in Armies of that time period. However, they were reserved for "special" types of units (e.g: scouts, scrimmagers, marksmen, etc.) and NOT for frontline combat. One reason being: reloading a flintlock rifle took a considerable amount of time, compared to muskets.
    The "simplified version" of tactics of that time depended on "overwhelming volume of fire" towards the enemy, while maintaining formation (Maintaining a close formation prevents your soldiers from getting "singled out and picked apart," while also preventing a potential surprise enemy bayonet/cavalry charge). The goal wasn't necessarily to "kill as many as you can" during these "musket barrages"... but to drive away, demoralize and disorganize the enemy - so that its easier for your solders to cut down the survivors by a bayonet charge (when there's an opening in the enemy's formation), or to send your cavalry to attack their flank.
    note: another reason (among many other reasons) why muskets were still preferred over rifles during American Revolution: flintlock riles weren't initially designed to use/attach bayonets (which means: vulnerable to cavalry attacks). Which didn't get remedied until 1801 (see the British "Baker rifle" - officially known as the Pattern 1800 Infantry Rifle). About 18 years after the war.

So many great moments and scenes, one part is where at the time stamp 25:35 where he asks him where his children would be hidden and then the camera cuts to other British personnel and the look on their face was like “come on man don’t stoop to that monstrous level”. Just little things like that make this movie a spectacle.

  • @ericlaw171
    @ericlaw171 Před rokem +2

    The reason they fought in formations like that during those times was because it was the only way for them to maintain command and control of large armies. The invention of the musket made it possible to pull someone off the street and make them an effective soldier with minimal training. This allowed armies to easily grow their forces to sizes never seen before, but created another problem: massive forces like that would quickly descend into chaos if not strictly controlled. So they set them up in formations and used drums and flags to send commands. Believe it or not, even with how slow and lumbering this seems, these types of forces were the height of military prowess at the time and would absolutely decimate smaller forces. Only the invention of modern electronic communications were we able to control large forces without having to resort to these tactics.

  • @matthewm9342
    @matthewm9342 Před rokem +18

    Hey guys! Love your videos! :) just wanted to say and I’m sure it’s been said, but the reasons they fight in lines are; for starters the guns they used were very inaccurate maybe a real effective range of about 75-100 yards. The reason for this is. The bullet(at the time was just a lead ball) was smaller than the barrel. This was good for a quick reload but when fired the ball would jiggle about the smooth barrel of the gun and come out. So not really great, but they found if you got a bunch of people and shot a huge wall of lead someone would hit something. The other reason is because the guns produced a huge amount of smoke and you need to know who’s on your team which is why they wore red as well. We see it and are like “that’s dumb” but if you can’t tell who’s on your team with all the smoke bad things happen. Hope you got to see this and wish you both the best!!

    • @FPAlpha
      @FPAlpha Před rokem

      Pretty much it, volume of fire was key. Another was command & control - at that time with these kinds of tactics it was loud and smoke everywhere, so having these formations made it easier to issue and understand/hear the commands ( supported by acoustics like trumpets or drums).
      As weapons developed and became more accurate tactics also changed. Shortly after the Civil War in the 1860s armies began moving away from line infantry tactics as standard rifles became more precise and rate of fire increased, the final element was the introduction of machine guns in the 1880s that made line infantry advances suicide with little to no chance of success, leading to the adoption of light infantry skirmish tactics - the method of infantry fighting ever since.

  • @kipzmc2024
    @kipzmc2024 Před rokem +1

    11:56 For those who dont understand why war were fought like that, heres why.
    1. Muskets were smoothbore, meaning no rifling. The bullets were also spherical, meaning they would waver and kinda curl around randomly as they flew through the air. So the best method of hitting the target was to simply all fire at once.
    2. They didnt go into a prone position because reloading a musket was basically impossible when laying down, so standing or maybe kneeling was the only option.
    3. Tight formations were needed in order to prevent cavalry charges from crashing through your lines. It also kept unit cohesion for the officers/generals to know where everyone was. If everyone tried to stay behind cover, a simple charge would break the entire line and possibly penetrate deep behind the lines.
    4. There WAS rifle units that were extremely accurate, but they stayed in looser formations in order to "harass" the enemy, but not stand in a legit fight. Plus most rifled muskets didn't have bayonet attachments until more into the 19th century.
    5. The American Civil War for example is when the tactics i mentioned above, met with RIFLES for the first time. So instead of most men having smoothbore, now almost everyone had rifled muskets, hence why the Civil War was so deadly. 1 good volley and the whole front rank would fall down.

    The grooves inside the barrel of the rifle you're thinking of is called rifling which allows the bullet to fly straight, faster and further than Revolutionary muskets which were ineffective past twenty yards when fired by a single man, the earliest single shot rifle I know is the Kentucky long rifle which had a maximum effective range of two hundred yards making it an ideal rifle for both military use and hunting dangerous game from a safe distance.

    First in Europe, then in America, it was Christian abolitionists that fought and won the victory to free slaves. they were fighting for other rights as well but it should always be remembered now and in the past it was Christians who fought to free slaves of all colors throughout history. i’m glad the movie was historically accurate in the lead characters praising God for the victory. Great reaction you two.

  • @aureliansmask3502

    Line warfare is such a fascinating thing due to it being the main combat style during the American Revolution and the Napoleonic Wars, but only existing for about 100 years before the revolution and 50 years after the Napoleonic wars. Basically, the point of it was to be an anchor for your cavalry and cannon units. The enemy would have to break through the line, which was extremely hard, to get to your cannons and you could also have your cavalry break out through the line and into the open field, attacking the lines directly. The musket fire volley was no joke cause by time the last row in the line had fired, the front was reloaded and you basically create this endless stream of musket balls coming across a wide area
    Guerilla warfare, the style Gibson fought, was also common, but you couldn't do enough damage to these large units like that. They'd march across America if the Continental Army didn't also fight in a line formation

  • @forrestcrain3401
    @forrestcrain3401 Před 4 měsíci

    There were some very good reasons they fought open battles in lines and columns of men. It was not done because of "honor" or "politeness" it was a necessary tactic and formation to win pitched battles. Yes, they had guns but those guns were flintlock smoothbore muskets (meaning they are extremely inaccurate but devastating if the target is hit). If they broke apart into small squads like we do in modern warfare they would be picked off piecemeal one by one by the larger more organized formation because their weapons are so inaccurate.
    Instead, they used a system known as "volley fire" where the men would fire by rank (each line starting with the first) and after the first line fires they immediately begin to reload and the second line fires and so on until the first rank has reloaded, rinse and repeat. This in theory, would ensure that they were always firing at the enemy ranks non stop. This was very difficult to do and required a lot of training and experience, not to mention discipline under heavy fire, which the British army had, but many of the colonists did not.
    That's why Martin the main character criticizes the Americans going toe to toe with the British in open battle, they simply have no chance against professionals. The Americans did have rifles and used them as opposed to muskets which did allow them to break apart into smaller guerrilla fighting units, as you can see in the film. However, rifles back then (way more accurate than a musket) were substantially harder to reload and took more time. So you are essentially sacrificing more firepower for greater accuracy. This also made it impractical for the British artillery (canons) to be employed against the colonists because those weapons were designed to take out large formations of men. Trust me, they didn't fight that way because they wanted to, they fought that way because they had to.

  • @truthguide1742

    I'm glad you guys love this movie. Great reaction. Maybe you can understand why there are Americans who are very patriotic. Who wave the flag. Strongly believe in the US Constitution, The Bill of Rights, freedom of speech, freedom of religion, the 2nd Amendment, teaching true US History (the good and bad), pledging alliance to the flag, standing up for the National Anthem, want civics and responsibilities of US citizenship taught in schools and other gestures of patriotism. The movie showed some of the sacrifices that people suffered, including the Founding Fathers. They said "We Mutually Pledge To Each Other Our Lives, Our Fortunes, And Our Sacred Honor". Can we do no less?

    Everything they did in that linear style of firing was based on their flintlock muskets. Reloading was complicated and took a lot of practice. The smooth bore muskets were inaccurate at any real distance , so they fought in three ranks, when one rank fired, the others reloaded. The red coats? it covered up blood. Bayonets were used as essentially spears when then finally closed on the other line. The rebel militia had rifles, which were much more accurate but even more difficult to reload---and a lot of them were used to hunting, so they did know how to hit targets.

  • @alexcarter2461
    @alexcarter2461 Před rokem

    Having owned and still owning a Charleville and Brown Bess, linear warfare was the only way to fight with muskets, military muskets were bored and military loads for firing had a smaller lead ball to help facilitate faster loading, the whole tactic of lining up was to pack as many muskets together as possible. This side steps the general unreliability of a musket, yes you can take care of them as best as you can but sometimes they dont always work, the second was one of accuracy, so instead of aiming for individual targets a whole formation of men would aim and fire their volley collectively at the enemy, so someone is going to hit someone.

      Once the French joined in, the American revolution actually became a side-show, as far as Britain was concerned. Protection of the West Indies was the prime objective: Jamaica alone provided more to the British economy than all 13 colonies put together.
