American film directors

US History Movie List Early American History ? Black Robe ? This movie is about the earliest settlers and their attempts to Christianize the Indians. It involves a little violence and sex, but is mostly an introspective movie set in early colonial times The Crucible ? This concerns the Salem Witch Trials and is not completely accurate but close. The Last of the Mohicans ? An excellent movie and decent adaptation of the book, it is set during the French and Indian Wars. Notice the relationship between the colonists and the British and the expectations the British had of Colonial obedience. Remember, of course, that this is based on a book that was written in the 1800s, after the Revolutionary War.
