Any good American Revolution FilmDocumentaries?

Post » Thu Dec 20, 2012 10:47 am

So as I grew up in Canada, I didin't learn much about the American Revolution I remember we learned a little in Grade 7 but that's about it, to be honest with you...my thoughts on the revolution were a tad bit insulting towards America...

Anyway I've been playing alot of AC3 and Empire Total War, and im stating to get VERY interested in the subject, I like the tactics and the form of combat they used, like Line infantry and the like. So can anyone recommend (Non Biased :biggrin:) Films or documentaries about the topic? (Or any of the time period, such as the war of 1812)
