Use in Politics
- A portion of the music from The Patriot was played after Barack Obama's victory speech as President-elect of the United States on November 4, 2008.[1]
Use in Television
- Excerpts of the song The Colonial Cause were remixed and utilized for the opening credits theme song for the shortlived 2004-2005 television series Jack and Bobby which aired on The WB. The song was played over audio clips of various United States Presidents, and was synchronized with images of the same presidents. Coincidentally, the series starred Logan Lerman, who had portrayed the role of William Martin in The Patriot, which had been the actor's first role.
