The War of 1812 (1812-1815) was a conflict fought between the United States, the United Kingdom, and their respective allies. Historians in Britain often see it as a minor theatre of the Napoleonic Wars. (Wikipedia)
Now picture yourself the movie with Gibson (The Patriot) yes I know that was 35 years before the settings of this movie, but picture this movie the patriot and see it as it is being made in your own backyard, with the people from your own neighbourhood, that is Mohawk.

And honestly I can not tell you more because I left this movie after 45 min.
