b. Francis Marion (1732-1795) was one of the most successful partisan military leaders of the American Revolutionary War. He led bands of guerrillas in several victories against British and Britain-allied Colonists, from whom he received the name "Swamp Fox" for his craftiness in eluding pursuit in the Carolina swamps. As with many Revolution-era figures, his legacy is complicated by racism and the brutality of his tactics, but his military contributions to the founding of America remain vital.
