The character of Colonel Tavington is loosely based on Colonel Banastre Tarleton, who was Cornwallis' cavalry commander. Colonel Tarleton had a bad reputation, but some say he was not nearly as cold-hearted and evil as the fictitious Colonel Tavington (though many historians portray them equally). In the movie, Colonel Tavington died at the end of the Battle of Cowpens. The real Banastre Tarleton lived to grow old until 1833, became a General, and even served in the British Parliament.
