If it makes you feel any better he was the only British officer who didn't receive an invitation to dinner. He probably would have burned the house down anyways, so I guess this makes sense.......
After the Revolution, Tarleton went home, was knighted, promoted, and elected to Parliament for Liverpool, where he became a vocal advocate of not ending the slave trade. Known as Sir Banastre Tarleton, First Baronet as of 1815, he wrote his memoirs, then spent 15 years hooking up with the most famous actress in England – a woman he only went out with because a friend bet him that he couldn't get her. He lived to be 78 :)
anyone know where I can find his memoirs?
>he was named Banastre Tarleton
>he enjoyed exterminating traitors

That's Banastre "The Butcher" Tarleton. Honestly though he had a pretty fucking impressive military career. Instead of buying his way into being an officer he worked his way up to general on merit.
>Operating a light cavalry, Tarleton's Raiders were known for daring attacks, even against greater numbers, and for being complete dicks who burned the homes and farms of anyone who dared talk shit about the King of England. In one particularly-awesome story, Tarleton went to the home of a guy who had been a general in the Continental Army but had been killed in action a year earlier. According to the legend, Tarleton met the dead general's wife, had dinner with his family and servants, then stood up, politely thanked the family for dinner, and ordered his men to burn the entire place into fucking traitorous cinders.
I love this guy
