30 sept 1777 año - Battle of Cowpens

Descripción:

A US-Great Britain battle in the South for control of key areas in South Carolina. After General Gates was defeated at the Battle of Camden, Washington sent General Nathaniel Greene to fight Lord Cornwallis. Greene managed to divide Cornwallis' army in two, one half led by Colonel Sir Banastre Tarleton, who engaged American General Daniel Morgan. Morgan set up a defensive position at the Broad River, correctly predicting that the aggressive Tarleton would launch a simple head-on assault. Tarleton suffered a crushing defeat.
