Good read.
Thanks for posting this.
my pleasure
Well, so much for catching up on GAW tonight. Couldn't stop reading this. It was stellar. I am a huge fan of Revolutionary war history and have traveled to a lot of historical battlefields. This is finally someone presenting true history NOT watered down. Tarleton was a fucking psychopath butcher. Period. Full stop. The Brits STILL to this day get swamp balls (pun intended) when u point that out.
Excellent. I'd told my kids it seemed like the Patriot was based on Francis Marion and Bloody Tarleton.
you were right!
Excellent read. Thank you.
my pleasure
Someday history will be taught in America.
This was a great read. The tie-in to our current war is most helpful. We have to remember that the culture war" is designed to divide these UNITED States of America. We The People unified is what [they] fear most.
Who, I believe, the character of Benjamin Martin, played by Mel Gibson in The Patriot, was partly based on.
Very interesting article. I have watched the movie several times, this really helps understand the history behind it.
