Tropes

Historical Villain Upgradein 1,043 titlesWalter Butler is a real historical figure. He has long been blamed for the Cherry Valley massacre, which some argue was due to poor leadership on his part rather than malice.The Revolution Will Not Be Vilifiedin 76 titlesNeedless to say, the film sides wholeheartedly with the Revolution. The most sympathetic Tory character is Nancy, who only supports the British out of loyalty to her Loyalist father.All 19 tropes
