- The Spirit of '76 (1917 film)
"The Spirit of '76" is a 1917 silent film depicting the early history of the United States. It was made by Robert Goldstein, who was a German immigrant and owned a costume shop. It was considered controversial at the time because of its depiction of the British, who had become America's allies.[cite news | first=Hans J. | last=Wollstein | coauthors= | title=Spirit of '76 (1917) | date= | publisher=New York Times | url =http://movies.nytimes.com/movie/111354/Spirit-of-76/overview | work =All Movie Guide | pages = | accessdate = 2008-04-15 | language = ] The film depicted some scenes in which British soldiers committed some atrocities, and a court case followed in which the prosecution argued that the war (WWI) effort demanded total allied support. Goldstein was jailed for making the film and later fled the United States.] References
