Trivia: Much of the military action is based on the battle of Cowpens. The character of Tavington being based on Banestre Tarleton; the mixture of militia and Continental army in the battle, knowing that the militia had a reputation of not holding and using that to lure the British in. The militia only firing a couple of volleys before a planned retreat to a secondary line composed of the Continental army. The Continental army firing and then performing a bayonet charge. These are the basics of the battle of Cowpens and the basics of the military action at the end of the movie. (more)

Goofs: Continuity: In the final battle scene, when the line is breaking, Benjamin takes the flag and starts running with it, and he is seen throwing his pistol. Later, when confronting Tavington, his pistol is back and he shoots Tavington with it. (more)
