Have you ever wondered what happened to the 56 men who signed the Declaration of Independence? What fates befell them for daring to put their names to that document? Five signers were captured by the British as traitors and tortured before they died. Twelve had their homes ransacked and burned. Two lost their sons serving in the Revolutionary Army, another had two sons captured. Nine of the 56 fought and died from wounds or hardships of the Revolutionary War. They signed and they pledged their lives, their fortunes, and their sacred honor. What kind of men were they? Twenty-four were lawyers and jurists. Eleven were merchants, nine were farmers and large plantation owners; men of means, well educated. But they signed the Declaration of Independence knowing full well that the penalty would be death if they were captured. Carter Braxton of Virginia, a wealthy planter and trader, saw his ships swept from the seas by the British Navy. He sold his home and properties to pay his debts, and died in rags. Thomas McKeam was so hounded by the British that he was forced to move his family almost constantly. He served in the Congress without pay, and his family was kept in hiding. His possessions were taken from him, and poverty was his reward. Vandals or soldiers looted the properties of Dillery, Hall, Clymer, Walton, Gwinnett, Heyward, Ruttledge, and Middleton. At the battle of Yorktown, Thomas Nelson, Jr., noted that the British General Cornwallis had taken over the Nelson home for his headquarters. He quietly urged General George Washington to open fire. The home was destroyed, and Nelson died bankrupt. Francis Lewis had his home and properties destroyed. The enemy jailed his wife, and she died within a few months. John Hart was driven from his wife's bedside as she was dying. Their 13 children fled for their lives. His fields and his gristmill were laid to waste. For more than a year, he lived in forests and caves, returning home to find his wife dead and his children vanished. A few weeks later, he died from exhaustion and a broken heart. Norris and Livingston suffered similar fates. Such were the stories and sacrifices of the American Revolution. These were not wild-eyed, rabble-rousing ruffians. They were soft-spoken men of means and education. They had security, but they valued liberty more.

[@ironman0917]

Mel Gibson's character is very loosely based on a man very well known here in South Carolina. His name was Francis Marion. The "Swamp Fox". His guerrilla tactics tied up and harassed the British Army for a couple of years here in SC. The Colonel Tavington in the movie is loosely based on Colonel Banastre Tarleton, a Dragoon, under the command of Lord Cornwallis. Tarlton is well know as being very ruthless and cold blooded. The final battle scene in the movie is based on an actual battle. The Battle of Cowpens, near the small town of Chesnee, South Carolina, which was a victory for the Americans, and the turning point in the Revolutionary War. Francis Marion was not at this battle, but Tarlton was. Also, Field Marshal Erwin Rommel of the 2nd World War, studied the tactics of Francis Marion the "Swamp Fox" and applied some of them in WW II and hence was to be known as the "Desert Fox". Playing off of Marion's "Swamp Fox" name.

[@jktarleton]

The final battle is loosely based on Cowpens but also several other battles. It Is Tarleton not Tarlton (different branches of the family)....Banastre survived the war though he lost a few fingers and went on to be pals with the Prince of Wales, a General and a member of Parliament. In his book he describes the battle of Waxhaws (where he got his reputation of butcher) as he lost control of his men due to his horse falling, I would say this is a dubious claim at best....

"I have long feared that my sins would return to visit me. And the cost is more than I can bear." - Benjamin Martin . Addie, I'm so glad that you enjoyed the theatrical cut of The Patriot (2000). This is also my all-time favorite Mel Gibson movie alongside Braveheart (1995). I even own the 2007 Extended Cut of the movie on Blu-ray. Thomas & Gabriel's deaths and the burnings of the Martin family's house and the church with Gabriel's wife, Anne, and her fellow townsfolk were the real heartbreaking moments of the movie. Colonel Tavington really deserves a "How dare you!" comment for both of those burnings, the deaths for both of Benjamin's sons, and for calling Thomas (the second son) a "stupid boy", after he shot him. BTW, I can still eat dinner while watching this movie, if it were to play on TV at a restaurant that I were to eat at with my girlfriend. And John Williams's film score for this movie is so epic, it reminds me of the music for the Steven Spielberg movies he did as well.
