The hero in the movie “The Patriot” was a amalgamation of Francis Marion, Andrew Pickens, Thomas Sumter and Daniel Morgan! All true heroes whose stories are more exciting then anything a Hollywierd writer could dream up.

I know a lot of people here on FR loved that movie, but it basically annoyed because those true patriots didn't get their due. Also there was a character played by Chris Cooper is clearly Light Horse Harry Lee the father of Robert E. Lee. Can't give a Lee his due can we Hollyweird! In short a highly inaccurate movie on the Revolutionary War.

A screenplay based on the book ‘Paul Revere’s Ride’ by David Hackett Fischer would make a great movie without a shred of fiction inserted.
