Question: Why was Susan so upset with Benjamin after he left, and why is it she suddenly breaks down, cries, and pleads for him not to go away before he leaves again?

Answer: Because he's her father and she misses him. Her mum is already dead and she recently lost one of her brothers. She's afraid of losing him too.

Factual error: In the scene at Lord Cornwallis' outdoor party celebration, right after Benjamin Martin and his Continental Army blows up a British Ship, one of Lord Cornwallis' Captains throws back a big gulp of his drink from his Martini glass in grief and disbelief - the problem is this movie takes place in the mid 1700s and the Martini Glass wasn't invented until the 1920s, during the Roaring Jazz days.
