      As a fan of cinema, it's a 10. Fantastic writing, directing, and acting. As a Historian and History teacher, this scene is one of the few accurate ones in the film as there is often a misguided notion that all colonists were anti-british "Americans" waving the flag and crying about "Freedom". There were many who viewed themselves as loyal British subjects and would have been fine keeping it that way. The rest of the film, total bullshit. lol!

      This exactly. I remember when this movie first came out, I was 16 then, I thought "What a coward. An absolute coward."........fast forward and now I have children of my own, mid 30s, and it hit me........what exactly was he to do in that moment? He is a single father of 6 children, if he were to leave then the children would be quite literally alone to fend for themselves. He has a profound point here. Had he a wife, he COULD go, but in his situation in this scene, he couldn't. He did not, in that very moment, have the luxury of principles.

    I like how the Colonel wasn't quick to go along with disrespecting Benjamin even though he was disagreeing with the Colonels intentions. A weaker, smaller man would've said nothing or gone along with referring to him as a coward in order to win favor with the crowd.... but he choose to defend Benjamins right to speak and held him up in high regard even though what he had to say was counterproductive to what he wanted. Thats the sign of a good man!

And this movie while not 100% historically accurate is one of the best movies about the revolution. I do need to point out that while Harry is correct about Bunker Hill(Breeds Hill more accurately), the British looked at the colonists the same way after that battle and how even though out matched, out gunned, and out manned the Americans nearly won the battle.

It is hard to pick a fight, knowing that your kids might end up in the crossfire, even if you know that fight is warranted. He had seen the brutalities of war first hand and did not want his children to ever have to see the same, or worse yet to lose him to battle and be left alone in the world in the midst of war.

Heath say he’s hiding behind them is unfair because he doesn’t until later understand why his father was so determined not to fight. His goal was to protect those he loved even at the expense of this principles.

      It is true, however, that the American colonial leaders did try to reconcile with the Crown. Read up on the Olive Branch Petition. But the king decided to disarm the colonists by force. And that the colonists simply could not allow, for it would leave them at the mercy of the king's troops and Native American tribes. Even at Lexington Green, Capt. Parker ordered his men not to fire unless fired upon. But fired upon they were, and after that the whole powder keg exploded.
