During the American Revolution, after the fall of Charles Town in 1780, General Francis Marion's militia frequently crossed the Santee swamps and appeared at every turn near Jack's Creek and the Santee River with his men who were red, white and black. Patriots ambushed the British and Loyalists and controlled the supply routes to Camden. The Redcoats pursued and did not capture the Swamp Fox. The Patriots won independence for the colonies with the Southern Campaign.
