John Moore on 15 Nov 09Elusive and crafty, Francis Marion outwitted British troops during the American Revolution. Interesting reference to "The Patriot" and it's marred portrayal of Marion. Something to think about when watching these sort of movies. Also, pay particular attention to the way Marion lived, he owned slaves and had some bad moments in his life, but he is still rightfully remembered as a hero of the Revolutionary War. "Heroes" are most generally not perfect individuals and when viewing the leaders of today that must be remembered.
