I did indeed mention “the Patriot” in my comments. That’s part of what concerned me.

And being a casual student of the RevWar and the period, I’m pretty aware of how raw it could be. But not quite as bad as others think of it. There were “rules” generally, and often they were followed. I would never say overall they’d be at the level of a Moslem worldview, e.g. Yes, there was butchery, but not as a policy.

For a very graphic, very violent history of Pontiac’s Rebellion, let me recommend the two volume set (1851) by Francis Parkman. They are very detailed, yet surprisingly pleasant to read, as Parkman was a gifted narrative writer:
