“…The taking of Charleston occurred in 1780; not 1778.

“…The major historical blunder is the black/white issue. Hollywood has a tendency to homogenize their productions and in The Patriot we see an almost politically correct society where the slave population amicably co-exists with their white brothers and sisters. While we (today) might be “PC sensitive” to this issue, film is a historical document. 500 years from now (if a copy of this film should exist) those who view it might have a very skewed look at slavery in 1776 South Carolina.”

In the scene when Mel Gibson and his two young sons are trying to capture back the oldest son, they were killing too many men with how many shots they fired. the guns back then were not very accurate at all. The bullets didnt usually shoot straight. But thats all i remember. i watched it im my us history class too
