The Battles

Overall the film largely under exaggerates how many militia the Colonial army had, as well as over exaggerates the amount of troops the British army had. For example the movie depicts the Battle of Camden, while showing the Battle correctly as well as the ending the true reality of the battle was the Colonial Army had exponentially more troops. The Battle of Cowpens is also a perfect example of certain inaccuracies. The actual battle was correct, the Colonials did come out with a win using similar strategies as portrayed in the movie, except the battle did not end with the real life version of Tavington dieing, or the real life version of Benjamin Martin getting any type of revenge. 

The Uniforms

The costumes throughout both sides of the army were largely inaccurate in many ways. The Continental Army never had a unified uniform, as the army did not have the supplies to give all the troops the same clothes, so they used whatever was available. The higher ranked officers were also shown using similar uniforms which is inaccurate as throughout the revolutionary war the uniforms changed while the rank changed. The Continental troops were also wearing the wrong colors, South Carolina troops were supposed to wear blue coats. The green dragoon was also shown with green and red when in reality they were only wearing a dark green.
