      This is a facet of our culture that many in other countries should understand. In most of the country, this is still the case, and completely normal even today. I live in a rural area of America, and I learned to shoot with a single-shot a rifle when I was 7 years old, a bolt-action when I was 8, and a 12-gauge shotgun when I was 9. Beyond teaching important life lessons such as conscientiousness and responsibility, it is also often necessary. In many places, there are still animals that are dangerous or damaging to property, and cannot be relocated or deterred effectively. And, should any of those types dangerous creatures happen to walk on two legs rather than four, well... those can be dealt with too.

Fun fact it wasnt that bad as after several shots the entire fired will be full of smoke and you had good cover because no one could see through the smoke much. Thats why armies used bright uniforms so people can at least have some idea which side is which. There was one time in a battle when a differently dressed unit of allies entered the field to support and (I think it the British army who had this incident) And the main force ended up massacring them thinking them as enemy troops trying to sneak in ..

      For thousands of years armies fought as a closely linked mass force. The U.S. Civil War and the Boer War showed that more accurate rifles and artillery would decimate these massed forces - that was when armies began to dig trenches for cover. 'Blitzkrieg' warfare and mass production changed battle tactics during World War II. Those same tactics being used by the Russians today in Ukraine exposed their soldiers to the next generation of war fighting with superior technology used to great effect by Ukraine's armed forces.

    "Legit there's no tactics"
    Later in the movie you'll see some cavalry charges. The idea of forming in lines was because horses won't charge an unbroken line. So as long as they can all keep an unbroken line on the front rank, they are preventing cavalry charges. Once the lines break, the cavalry can run thru and go to work messing people up. Swords are much more accurate than muskets, and have a much quicker reload rate too.

    • @airmobiledivision7759
      @airmobiledivision7759 2 года назад

      Cavalry charges are indeed less effective against a line than against troops in a haphazard, loose formation. However, they can still be highly effective against lines, especially considering they are largely undefended from the rear and, to a lesser extent, flanks. The true defense of the period against cavalry, however, was the infantry square.

    Great reaction as always! What's amazing about the age of the characters is that there were veterans who were younger.
    A future President of the United States Andrew Jackson was a Scout and a courier at 12 and was a POW at 13. He had a scar across his forehead because a British officer demanded the boy clean his boots and Jackson told him to go screw himself. His mother and brother were also arrested in a scene very similar to scene where Martin loses a son.
    He lost his mother and brother to abuses in prison and swore to hate the English forever. He later got some measure of revenge when he defeated the British army at the Battle of New Orleans at the end of the war of 1812. The same army that had kicked the crap out of America and burned the white house earlier in the war. The same army that broke Napoleon at waterloo as Jackson liked to boast.
    Jackson would later fight in 20 duels to the death and beat a would be assassin so badly his own body guards had to protect the assassin🤣

    The actor who played the bad guy was Malfoy’s dad in Harry Potter. Lots of soldiers died from infection too. Our Civil War was even worse with casualties close to 1.5 million. We didn’t get penicillin until WWII so infection killed a lot of men.

    Yes, we learned in US history that one of the reasons we got the upper hand in the revolution was the use of guerrilla warfare. The Americans had been learning this from the natives for quite sometime before the revolution was underway.

    I have a lot of family in the rural parts of the US, I learned to shoot at age 8-9. So it’s not that uncommon here. Definitely was even more common back in those days. Hell I own a rifle, needed a bit of work on it as it was a surplus rifle. As for the line formations you see used in the film, that was standard for the time, and the rifles then were not that accurate. Also had a larger caliber. That and the medicine you see being practiced in one scene here… Also fairly on point for the time.

  • @unclebounce1495
    @unclebounce1495 2 года назад +4

    Great reaction bud. here's some technical/historical info to any interested to the common question "why'd they fight that way?"
    They did not fight in open fields because they were morons; they were still masterful tacticians. They fought in open fields because it was the most effective method given their weapons and communication tools. Round musket balls have 6" accuracy at 15 yards and 12" accuracy at about 25 yards. So in other words, a whole man's body could be "off the mark" beyond 25 yards. A good "marksman" could increase this range a small amount by having good wind intuition and well-cleaned barrels and such, but generally "aiming" was not even taught to the average rifleman. They didn't say "ready, aim, fire" but rather something more like "ready, level, fire." This later improved with the first "spiraling" Minnie Balls (which were more like modern bullets, though not fully rifled or overly streamlined, but it was a great start) - these improved accuracy dramatically (by about 3-4 times the range). This started to change things in the civil war and allowed for the beginning of proto-trench warfare and longer-ranged engagements (where they could start to use cover at the ends of fields). With the later ammunition, "aiming" began to be common training.
    Also, communications was a major limitation. Remember, lower officers in the field needed to communicate up the chain to the strategic-commanding officer over the battle. This was done with horns but, most often, flag signals. This means they needed to be in the open and within visual range to coordinate more than a small group of men. This is why even the civil war, with the improved Minnie Balls, still needed some amount of "open field" positioning and tall tower/lookout posts to coordinate the battalions.
    Could guerrilla tactics work? Only in smaller self-governed units. But a war campaign could not sustain on only those units. Their coordination would be dysfunctional, and their lethal power would be actually quite ineffective against larger groups of armed infantry. 1 shot per minute is slow, with a 50% accuracy rate. So, having 100 shooting in tandem acts as a single unit like a really slow automatic rifle (100 shots per minute, compensating for low accuracy by primitive "spray and pray" tactics), where a group of guerrila fighters equaling 20 will confuse the enemy and use ambush/flanking tactics, but they're still ultimately firing 20 rds/minute with 50% or much less accuracy (if they're firing through leaves/branches or at longer distances much much less). One or two guerrilla groups can be effective harriers/wild cards so long as a traditional armed force is present and rivaling the opponent's campaign, but if all was guerrilla units, an en massed opposing force would respond and easily start routing the strike squads using sheer number superiority and cavalry rush-routes.
    Plus, in open fields, artillery units can scout/range/support infantry, and cavalry can better swipe the flanks. Open vision is need for coordination, communication, and support. This later changed with the arrival of radio communication and better rifled bullets (longer accuracy ranges), which led into full on trench warfare tactics (WW1ish, a sort of perfect blending of guerrilla-like and open-battlefield tactics)
    As a single unit of armed power, the army was most effective fighting en masse. This was true up through WW II and beyond to even today. Even with all our communication technology presently, there are still lots of benefits to just throwing overwhelming force (especially if we want to occupy a location or break a supply line), but we now have the technology to masterfully coordinate dozens or even hundreds of smaller guerrilla platoons to collect, disperse, assault, retreat, and so on, across all sorts of terrains. Without the communication tech and ammo accuracy range, we would still be fighting in open fields just like in this movie.

    Of all the poignant moments in this film, the one that guts me the most is when the little girl flinches away from her father when he tries to hug her... and then runs to him begging him not to leave. The turmoil that is raging in that little girl... unbelievably well acted by such a young one. The other deep moment is when the racist militia man turns to Occam (the slave who is 'now here of my own accord') and says, "I am honored to have you with us. Honored." It gives me hope that men CAN change! Great reaction video... thanks!

    Yea, standing line firing was a thing because smooth bore fire arms were inaccurate, and took a good while to reload. Having everyone standing in a line and firing in the same direction at the same time meant a sheet of bullets travelled out towards the enemy, making it likely many of the enemy would be hit. It was an ugly way to make war, but given the technology of the time, it was the best they could do.

As I rest on the porch for a few minutes, I see an American flag in a neighbor’s front yard. I watch the low breeze lift & twirl the red, white & blue fabric, thinking about this film. I feel sense of awe & respect for the men & women who sacrificed and died so I can use this Saturday afternoon to dig in my front yard. I wonder if that neighbor understands the depth of the sacrifice…. And, I live in S. Carolina, not too far where this movie was filmed.

    If ya paid attention... Ben Martin served in the French and Indian War and the militias used Native American tactics and Tomahawk Combat techniques to do battle against enemy tribes.
    For Marksmanship... farming families on the frontier learned to shoot clean and prepare game from the time they could walk.
    By the time the boys were military age, they can hit targets up to 500 paces(300+ meters) and be able to reload in 10 seconds while running full speed.
    Back in the day... the colonial militias could give modern day special forces a run for their money.

    Man, military, American history movies always get me super emotional. My whole family has been military since the founding of the country, never missed a generation, and most served 20+ years. Revolutionary officers, Naval Captains, Pilots, Frogmen, infantry, special forces, literally back to the revolutionary war and before that British officers, soldiers, and militia in the New World. I also don't take my Native American ancestors for granted. We have Ute and Blackfoot ancestors as well, it's just a small amount but it's there and since we can trace it and know names and household positions we know they were treated well, as actual humans and significant others and the daughters of "great warriors". I even had 8 ancestors at Plymouth... the pilgrims from the Mayflower. One of them was actually part owner of the Mayflower. Several signed the Declaration of Independence. Even Ben Franklin is like my 14x Great-uncle or something. My family was in the thick of it from day one. I'm absolutely not bragging, just proud of my family. One of our lines fuckin traces back to Rome as a General of two legions at once, something that only happened a few times or so I've read. I'm related to him through Rollo the Norman/Viking and princess of Paris... who also relates me to the brothers who are thought to be the inspiration for and real Robin Hood's. We've had most of this information for hundreds of years but DNA took it even further. Kings, Queens, Dukes, Duchesses, Lord's and Ladys. I have an entire wall dedicated to all military that has been passed down and added too for decades. Its got pictures, seated portraits, and several flags from many generations including a 13 star flag.

    Fun fact about the American flag scene where he is running with it. People often ask why do the military have their flag on backwards, it’s because of that. If the flag is facing the correct way, it shows retreat. With it backwards, it looks as if the soldiers are moving forward.
