  • Francis Marion (c. 1732 – February 26, 1795) was a military officer who served in the American Revolutionary War. Acting with Continental Army and South Carolina militia commissions, he was a persistent adversary of the British in their occupation of South Carolina in 1780 and 1781, even after the Continental Army was driven out of the state in the Battle of Camden.

John Postell for the French and Indian War to drive the Cherokee away from the border. In 1761 Marion served as a lieutenant under Cap. William Moultrie in a campaign against the Cherokee.

    Francis Marion lost his two sons. Benjamin Martin was supposed to Francis Marion.
  • Matthew Dumbrique on 22 Apr 10
     
    Francis Marion was very violent. He has been in the French and Indian War. He killed many French men. The French officer who helped him in the Battle of the south didn't like what Marion has done. But his French attitude hasn't changed his heart for a new free country, the United States of America.
