Patriot's Point

1790: At the Battle of Waxhaw, NC, the British Legion massacres the unresisting soldiers ofof the Virginia Regiment instead of accepting their surrender. In the aftermath, colonists-ordinary men and women, farmers, shopkeepers, and back woodsmen-come together in secret at an abandoned Spanish mission, renaming it Patriot's Point. There they organize themselves into a fighting force, vowing to contain the British advance at all cost until the Continental Army can retaliate. Fewer than two hundred men stand in defiance of over five thousand British soldiers: two hundred patriots, who understand that freedom is not free.
