hey, all. i learned about this relatively recently and wanted to do a fact check. the gist of what i heard was that Cornwallis (in contrast to his portrayal in The Patriot, which is what i learned about this in relation to) was sympathetic to the Colonials and prior to the Revolution had voted on their behalf several times as an MP. so what are the chances that Cornwallis ends up siding with the Revolutionaries rather than fighting for the Crown? what would his role be if it's at all plausible, and who would take his place as a British commander?
