The British atrocities depicted in “The Patriot” were actually carried out and then some by the barbaric Binastre Tarleton, who unfortunately would later die in bed of old age.

I have never heard that a burning church - with civilians - was perpetrated by Banastre Tarleton.

I am quite aware of Butcher Tarleton and his antics with his loyalist dragoons, thank you.

As stated, I am a “fan” of the RevWar and I do wish people would give me the benefit of the doubt on this, rather than making sarcastic comments. Heck, even if I was a rube on the subject, a little more courtesy would be nice.
