The Patriot's "Battle of Camden" is...Abysmal
5,600CORRECTION: Turns out the 33rd’s Colours were actually white! Pretty silly mistake on my part! Just goes to show, there’s always an exception in history.
Quite possibly the only thing worse than a Patriot battle scene is another Patriot battle scene. Not only is this portrayal of the Battle of Camden historically inaccurate, but those inaccuracies are laid in such a way as to be bad on a moral level, too. It insults the memory of those real individuals who fought, bled, and died on both sides of the field. Think I'm maybe being a little too dramatic? Well, hear me out, and see if you don't agree by the end of this video!
