Essay on American Revolution in Popular Culture
Choose how the American Revolution is portrayed in a book, movie, or other popular form from your lifetime.
Consider the questions: how is the American Revolution portrayed? Is it historically accurate? Why or why not? What is wrong? Who made the book/ movie/ etc? Did they have any knowledge of the Revolution? Did they do any research on the subject? Is the American Revolution portrayed in a favorable or unfavorable light? Why or why not? Do not just review the art form. In other words don’t write a movie review. Tie it to the American Revolution and how history is portrayed.
