Yeh you did. But changing the facts in the movie with the church burning jogged my memory. I remember that article from a while back and it does go to prove that the British were held in an innaccurate light by Gibson.
Yeah, but it's Hollywood - everythign they do is inaccurate. ;0)
That being said, you need to see if you can locate a copy of "History of the Campaigns of 1780 and 1781 in the Southern Provinces of North America", which was written by Tarleton in 1786, in which he attempts to justify his "savagery"... Interesting read, if you can get it. :)
Oh, and by the way? It really dosn't matter what "side" committed atrocities during that war, since the people fighting on both sides were British ;0)
