  • I don't own this, certain-lee. Happy 4th of July 2015. This is from the longer 3 hour version. In the Director's cut, the scene immediately cuts after Richard Lee rides off screen the first time.
    Ronald "Ron" Holgate won the Tony Award for Best Supporting Actor as Richard Henry Lee in the original Broadway production of 1776. He reprised his role in the 1972 film.
    Director Peter S. Hunt praised Holgate's great energy and ability to ride horseback while lipsyncing to the musical playback while continuing to act for the film. Holgate performed all horseback riding in the scene except for the first exit off screen, which featured a stunt double mounting the horse by jumping on it from behind.

      Sir Phineas Lucius Ambercrombie, Esq.
      Bruh . . . you must either have something against America today or dislike the Founding Fathers . . .
      I think it is the former, and that distaste extends to saying stuff about the Founding Fathers, even if you already know that they were brilliant and intelligent people (and racist and sexist and homophobic - though I know one of them was secretly bisexual, don’t know about the others, and several of them were abolitionists - and all that). It’s okay to dislike them, but it’s undeniable that they were incredibly intelligent.
      Don’t worry, man. I too have something against America, and I live here, so I’m in the middle of this mess, heh. Do you live here, too? Maybe we together can start a petition or something, a petition to make the office of president only available to intelligent people, like maybe with a test or something, as a starting point in calling for the much needed sweeping changes.
      I’m against the blatant racism here, to name one of the most prominent problems we face. Thank our President for that one, and those who supported and enabled him to go around saying the most awful things about anybody who isn’t white, male, and straight. That guy is so insanely racist, sexist, and homophobic, it is, well, insane. His being openly disgusting has encouraged the other awful people in our country to do the same, and the situation is bad, to say the least, especially when one portion of the media is controlled by the president’s people and only adds to the flames, as well as spreads outrageous and dishonest misinformation and mistruths. The only way to ever know what is really going on is to go straight to the sources, to the journalists, but journalists are being threatened by big companies taking over their newspapers, both printed and online, and laying tons of them off . . . the day we lose journalism is the day we lose any hope of knowing what’s really going on - man, it is so weird how America is at once a super progressive country and a really backwards one.
      I’ve heard some people call America a third world country with a Gucci belt, and honestly, with the way the ignorant masses are behaving here, that phrase, though I hate to say it, seems fitting enough for my country. We need sweeping changes to our school systems, and we’ve needed them for a long while, but even if all students and teachers agree on this, those with the power to change things seem to just sit around every day doing nothing at all except scheming up ways to make more money and reinforcing the rules they’ve laid out for us that clearly have not, do not, and will never work.
      Oh - sorry, looks like I went off on a long tangent. Anyway, the Founding Fathers were obviously super intelligent and wise when it came to government (even with all the crap they did in their personal lives *I’m looking at your slaves guys, and you, whom I won’t name, for raping your slave, and you, whom I will also not name, for secretly getting into bed with someone you shouldn’t have for over a year, to name just a few of the things y’all did* ), so if you dislike some aspects of America, then go ahead - you _should_ dislike the problems, adamantly so, but uh you know our Founding Fathers weren’t dumb hehe. Actually, some of them did silly things, so I guess that just like America is at once progressive and racist, they too were at once incredibly intelligent and progressive and racist. But not dumb. Heh.

      @@that0nerandomperson374 We seem to agree, to an extent, on the founding fathers. Not so much in recent events.
      As someone who actually does their research, Trump has multiple times, throughout the years, come out against racism. Look up the 2000 interview with Trump explaining that the reason he decided against running as the reform party candidate for president was because David Duke had just joined them. (Btw, David Duke backed Biden in 2020). The oft-repeated “good ppl on both sides.” quote was seriously taken out of context. Go listen to the full press conference. He was talking about those peacefully protesting against the taking down of statues and those peacefully counterprotesting them. He outright condemns Neo nazis and white nationalists there. As for sexism, explain to me why there were many women in high positions in his administration, such as the UN ambassador and how believing that abortion is murder translates to being sexist when millions of women across the country believe the same. As to homophobic, he believes in traditional marriage. He believes a church shouldn’t be forced to go against their tenants and marry a same sex couple. Many churches will. Marriage is a holy sacrament. Now I believe civil unions should be raised up in law to have the same rights as a married couple and I’m surprised no one has thought to do so.
      Now I’m not gonna defend everything the man said. He tweeted out a bunch of stupid crap. Trump was crass, crude at times, and only showed respect when it was shown to him, which wasn’t often. I’m not gonna defend the “grab em by the____” thing. But, after some posturing, he managed to quell down N. Korea for awhile without lifting any sanctions. He negotiated the Abraham Accords which brought some stability across the Middle East. He pulled our troops out of unnecessary engagements, including setting the date for withdrawal from Afghanistan as May 1, 2021, which Biden pushed back, ticking off the parties we made that agreement with. He made us energy independent for the first time in ages, and we had a mostly safe border.
      As to the founders, I will name names. Jefferson only ever released 4 slaves, thought to have been his own children. Franklin was a womanizer. His son, referenced by him in the movie as “the little bastard” was, in fact, a bastard child born out of wedlock, but the man was also an abolitionist. While not to the same extent, so was John Adams. The man butted heads with Jefferson many times over the years. Jefferson started the Democratic-Republicans, who later dropped the last bit and were just known as the Democrats. I have no clue what you’re talking about, calling one of them Bi. The term wasn’t even a thing for over a century and a half, at least. But regardless. We agree they were brilliant men. I consider Abigail Adams as the first true American Feminist, fighting for equality. John certainly thought of her as such.

    1776 is a very static musical; here the director used South Dakota native Holgate's competence as a horseman to great effect.

Especially considering that John Adams was a Scorpio (Nov 17th), and William Daniels plays that Scorpionic persistence to perfection, including the Mr. Serious-level annoyance with the display of overly extroverted confidence from Richard Henry Lee. Scorpios tend to be introverts - - at least when they're not pushing their agenda to the hilt. Then they are all up in everyone's grill. 😁😂

      @@DarkStormProduction5 They were fighting for independence (which coincidentally is not actually illegal, and the Declaration could be construed as legal precedent for). I really wish people would actually do some reading into the history of that situation. The South was attempting to secede because they were significantly poorer than the north and as a result believed they were not getting fair and adequate representation (which in some ways was probably true since a number of tax laws at the time were seriously fucking up the Southern economy). The slave issue is something which is constantly brought up to cover up a lack of knowledge - Lincoln had no actual problem with slavery and didn't free the slaves until near the end of the war because the north was losing (it was an easy way to garner more troops). I'd also like to point out that A. slaves actually made up a very small percentage of the total population of the Southern states and B. that slave owners made up and even smaller percentage. The vast majority of Southerners (including most of their generals, for example: Stonewall Jackson and General Lee) did not own slaves and were either independent farmers working small operations, independent business men (women often didn't work in that time period), itinerant laborers, or full-time soldiers (like the majority of their generals, who were thoroughly competent and well-respected as soldiers and men prior to, during, and following the war).
