Not sure about all the details of the film but the basic premise that the French helped the Americans win the War of Independence is historically correct.
The French played an important role.
In fact many historians believe the US could not have won without help from the French.
But if Braveheart is any indication of Mel's respect for historical accuracy then I suspect a lot of the details are wrong
