||||||
| American soldier Francis Marion was instrumental in fighting the British during the American Revolution (1775-1783). Marion commanded guerrilla operations in South Carolina, continually harassing the British forces. He gained his nickname, “Swamp Fox,” after he and his troops hid in the swamps to escape from the British. | ||||||
