Interesting article. As a sidenote, I recall there was a Jewish film director who made a movie about the American Revolution before or during World War I. It was suppressed and later destroyed, however, because the Wilson Administration regarded it as an affront to our British Allies, and therefore unpatriotic.
Yes, that's right. Woodrow Wilson thought the American Revolution was unpatriotic. Almost makes Bill Clinton seem respectable, don't it?
You're right. If I recall the film showed the British troops using their bayonets on the colonists. I can't remember the director's name either but a think he got ten years in the slammer. The "evil" McCarthy never had such success.
