About Me
Paragraph 1 At only 15 I went at sea. I went at sea for one year and then I came back. When I came back I got a farm land and then started to farm. In 1761 I was apart of the war against the Cherokee Indians. After The war I came back to farming. Two years later I was elected for provincial legislature and then the outbreak of the revolutionary war happened. Paragraph 2 In 1773 I achieved my goal and owned a plantation. After that my first assignment was going to build Fort Sullivan in Charleston,SC. I was always one of the people that would lock the doors every night whenever we just had one a battle. I formed a 50 men army while I had broken my ankle and then sent them to oppose the British. My 50 men army was able to get 150 more men by freeing them to America.

Paragraph 3 I got my nickname “swamp Fox” by the British.The British were trying to hunt us men and I was desperate enough to run 25 miles to find someone. I ran those 25 miles in swampy paths. Later I went back to home. When I was back at home I started my big goal, my plantation. While I was at home I received a $500 per year for and then got a new home.
