This revolutionary war movie tells of a man drawn into it against his will. Here are some mistakes to keep an eye out for.

Tavington is looking for a child - and you can tell his boots are made specifically for left and right feet. They didn't do that until the 1800s. Speaking of boots, a soldier claimed he knew Benjamin Martin's boot size - but boots didn't have sizes then, either.

In the scene in Charleston, you can see an extra with foam ear plugs in.

Tavington is seen getting rid of his ramrod after using it - meaning he'd never be able to reload again.

The battles at Camden and Cowpens are far inland - but armies march to there in a day.

Occam would NOT have been allowed to serve in South Carolina - they refused to let blacks into their militia.
