That's the final battle depicted in the movie, or at least the battle, the final battle in the movie, was based on.. Lot of similarities, but just like Mel Gibson's other flick Braveheart, completely rapes history.. for example, if I remember correctly Tarleton escaped Cowpens, but was killed in the movie.. Then again, I may be raping history here because its been forever since I read about Cowpens or have seen the movie haha
No you're right Tartleton escaped Cowpens. And yes the movie uses parts of Cowpens in its final battle.
And yes The Patriot puts history in a blender and comes up with its own mixed milkshake.
