jun 30, 1778 - Battle of Alligator Creek Bridge

Description:

The Battle of Alligator Bridge took place on June 30, 1778, and was the only major engagement in an unsuccessful campaign to conquer British East Florida during the American Revolutionary War. Continental Army General Charles Lee was called north shortly after the battle got underway. Only a company of cavalry actually entered East Florida, only to be ambushed in the Battle of Thomas Creek. Following that failure, the Georgians abandoned all their military posts south of the Satilla River.
