April morning - A great movie of “The shot heard around the world” will great men stand in the face of tyranny once again, Or bow down and forever be slaves?

A good point made is how history tends to repeat itself so it is a good idea to review the events in our history. Look what is happening in VA - where it all began.

Most of those are Hollywood movies, which are notoriously bad in regard to historical accuracy.

…...and many match up to historical data.

John Adams - HBO Series - Introduction into happenings around NE area leading up to the war.

I watch this on Independence day every year. Excellent.

Thank you. This thread didn't get any traction but I am glad to have record of this information. I respect The Patriot Nurse's opinion and I haven't seen some of these movies. I am anti-Hollywood and do my part by watching them for free. I don't pay for cable either.
