"Mel Gibson's character was originally scripted to be the real historical figure Francis Marion, "The Swamp Fox", but after historians informed the filmmakers of some of the more sordid aspects of Marion's life (slaughtering Indians, raping his female slaves) they decided to create a fictional story and a more likeable hero."

Actually Mel Gibson's character was based off of several different people (Francis Marion being the biggest). I don't remember all of them but we had a discussion about this in class one day because someone had done a report on Francis Marion and my teacher loves The Patriot.
