Tomorrow`s battle can alter
the course of the war.
1:04:21
General Greene, what exactly is
the task before us?
1:04:24
Gentlemen, Cornwallis has us cornered.
1:04:29
Not only does he outnumber us...
1:04:31
...but nearly half of our force
is militia.
1:04:36
Unreliable, at best.
1:04:40
Excuse me, sir.
1:04:44
You underestimate our militia.
1:04:49
All of you do.
1:04:51
We`ve seen our militia lines break
time and again.
1:04:55
Kips Bay, Princeton.
1:04:57
But the British have seen that too.
1:05:01
Cornwallis` own letters bear out that
he has no respect for the militia.
1:05:06
What are you suggesting, Ben?
1:05:11
l`m suggesting we use that.
1:05:21
l know you men have sacrificed
a lot so far.
1:05:27
But all l`m asking is that you...
1:05:31
...let the front line of the militia
fire two shots tomorrow.
1:05:37
A lot can happen in the time it takes
to fire two shots.
1:05:41
Especially against British Regulars.
1:05:45
lndeed. That`s why l`m not asking you
to fire three.
