Fought in October of 1780, the battle, just south of the North Carolina border, was a pivotal moment in the British Southern campaign.  The surprising victory by Patriot militia over American Loyalist militia raised Patriot morale and delayed for a while the invasion of North Carolina.  Be with us as we document the story of the first of three engagements that defined this colony’s military legacy in the War for Independence.
