Marion had precious little to do with ejecting the British from the Thirteen Colonies, but a lot more to do with plunging the United States into civil war several decades after his death.   Nathan Bedford Forrest  was a natural successor to Marion.   I like the United States;  I don't share the moronic anti-Americanism that proliferates in Europe these days and I think that the ACW was a tragic event.   Thanks to Marion and his like, it was probably also an inevitable one.
