What did George Wallace mean at the end when he said "Now We Shall Take Their Spirits!" Send the Entire Army Over that Hill and Crush Them!" "It Ends Today!"
Did he mean there was no more limit on how far the British Soldiers could go?? Was There even a limit in the first place?
Capt. Wilkins figured that Col. Tavington would want to burn down the houses, etc., not kill civilians, especially women and children.
Gen. Cornwallis wanted to destroy the colonists' will to continue rebelling.
Ok so did Gen. Cornwallis mean there was no more limit on how far the British Soldiers could go as for fighting? Was there normally a limit in place? Like did he mean the Red Coats could now follow the American Soldiers all they way back to their Tents?
share1. its a fiction.
2. that event was actually based off a an event in ww2 that the nazis did in france
3. its undoubtable the rebels committed far more war crimes than the brits did. not tat they were innocent by any means
just take the film for what it is. nationalist patriotic porn verging on propaganda.
His second-in-command, Gen. O'Hara, told him that they'd taken the field, i.e. won the battle, so there was no legitimate military reason to continue fighting.
Cornwallis wasn't satisfied with that, and wanted to end the rebellion. It's not stated how far he was going to go. You have to use your imagination.
I think he meant that if the British were able to crush the continental army and the militia of B. Martin on the same day, his campaign in S. Caroline (I believe) would end that day.
