    The “let’s go pay the piper beneath the old liberty tree” line refers to choosing to go die defending liberty. Which is pretty metal considering many of these characters likely died in the war.
    Put another way: Americans would rather die on their feet than live on their knees.

      Johnny Tremain really isn’t a very educational novel. It’s set in the lead up to the Revolution, sure, but all it really tells people is that the Sons of Liberty met in secret and planned things and that the Battles of Lexington and Concord happened. Most American kids of any generation know that by the time they hit fifth grade.

      Spartan 212 I am surprised that teachers still show this in history class or social studies. I'm 29 years old now. Since this is a movie about a group of men having the right to bear arms to defend themselves in a time where everyone is becoming liberal with ditacting what you can or cannot say using the term "politically correct" or trying to ban guns so ppl who are mature and responsible enough and do use it to defend themselves will have it taken away then they can't defend themselves.

      Nobody is trying to ban guns altogether, nor is anyone trying to take guns away from responsible people who know how to use them properly, as you imply.
      All we want are stricter firearms regulations to keep them out of the hands of people who should never be trusted with deadly weapons, like those with criminal records, and/or histories of violence and/or mental illness, because such persons are more likely to use such weapons, not for self defense, but for committing mass murder, like in the shootings at schools, where teachers, staffs, and students alike are killed or wounded. (Columbine, Uvalde, etc.)
      The killers in those cases were allowed to have guns, even though they were already violent and disturbed individuals. Background checks would have kept all firearms out of their possession and would have prevented them from murdering on such grand scales. Background checks have been used before and they do work.
      Before you start citing the Second Amendment guarantee of "the right of the people to keep and bear arms," let me remind that this right only applies to the right of each state to maintain "a well regulated Militia" for its own protection. Unfortunately, too many people dwell on the second half of the amendment (the "right of the people to keep and bear arms" clause), and completely ignore the first half (the "well regulated Militia" cause).
      Amendment 2 was meant to be applied COLLECTIVELY, NOT INDIVIDUALLY. It was never intended to be a license for any lunatic to obtain as many guns as he or she wants, without a proper permit, a reasonable background check, or being carefully trained in the correct use of a firearm.
      In fact, the biggest supporters of firearms regulations are LEGITIMATE GUN OWNERS, and incidentally so was the NATIONAL RIFLE ASSOCIATION (NRA), back in the day.

      For one thing they were not protesting the British raising the taxes on tea; they were protesting them LOWERING IT. A half dozen Massachusetts businessmen were getting rich smuggling tea & undercutting the competition. Lowering the tax would make them less competitive. So they gave a bunch of local thugs some alcohol & money to dump the King’s tea in Boston Harbor. All in the name of “freedom”.

Sam Adams, etc), they were at another location for what we would call Plausible Deniability. Not all of them were dressed as “Indians”, there was a good sized crowd watching from the dock, it took I believe about three hours, whole chests, once axed open were thrown in the water not bags, the tea was cakes not leaf tea as you would use to brew. As I said, however none of that really matters to me, I like this production very much.

    Walt Disney himself was patriotic and his love for the United States was well shown in these movies.
    The fact is this movie came out in 1957 and Walt was a producer for this film. This film was very good and from it - the strong sense of patriotism especially with this scene.
    Walt Disney was one hell of a patriot.

    I had to read “Johnny Tremain” in 1967 or ‘68 but I think I watched this a few years earlier. Even at the age of 10 or so, I thought it was a little silly how one or two men just break into song while marching and soon all the marchers and bystanders are belting this out in perfect unison - but regardless, it was still catchy and memorable. That’s why I just searched for it, to hear it again, 60+ years later.
