When the Declaration of Independence is signed, it is difficult to maintain neutrality. Swallow decides to support the Patriots. He is rewarded for this choice when the Americans win the War for Independence, eventually becoming a Rhode Island Supreme Court Chief Justice and a partner in a cotton manufacturing firm. He eventually moves to Providence, Rhode Island and lives peacefully until his death in 1830. ​
