10 sett 1781 anni - Governor Rutledge appointed John Barnwell Brigadier General
Descrizione:
On September 10, 1781, Governor John Rutledge created a fourth new brigade of militia to cover the territory between Charles Town and Savannah, appointing John Barnwell of Beaufort as the new commander and Brigadier General. This appointment was not received too well by many Patriots who felt that this new brigade should have been given to Col. William Harden, who had been operating in the same area under Brigadier General Francis Marion's authority.Aggiunto al nastro di tempo:
