A British officer noted that the people in these North Carolina counties “were more hostile to England than any others in America.” North Carolinians surely would have taken THAT as a compliment.
The Battles our nation’s Founders fought for Freedom from an oppressive despot are worth retelling over and over again! We must never forget the how important Life, Liberty and the Pursuit of Happiness was to our nation’s Founders!
Thank you Tara. The people of North Carolina had to have been very proud of their performance against the British. Nothing like victory to promote more victory.
Thank you Tara for finding a forum for sharing your knowledge independent of Facebook! Hopefully you can create your articles without being concerned with how the Facebook censors will react. Hod bless you dear sister!
These stories are so encouraging. There have been many brave men and women throughout the years that fought, bled and many died preserving the freedom of our republic. Thank you for sharing their sacrifices with us, Tara.
Love the stories of these great citizen militias that assembled, many at a moments notice, to deal severe blows to supposedly the best trained and much larger army at that time.
Tara, I thank you for bringing forth parts of our rich American history which I had either forgotten or of which I had never been exposed. As for "the minions of Facebook", I think you will do quite nicely without them as will we all.
The Carolina's proved to be very hard on the British and bleed them of supplies and men. The British were always so well equipped and their equipment was desperately needed by Rebels. They harassed the British at every possibility. There was Civil War in South Carolina as well so there were more Tories who sided with the British. However, the Patriots would not give in and resisted continuously until the British left. Kings Mountain provided the impetus to solidify the Patriots of the South and the British were defeated soundly.

I really enjoy these articles. They bring to life so many historical moments
You’d think that Concord , Lexington and Bunker Hill
“ might “ have given the Brits an early Good clue as to what they had to look forward to ! 🤦♂️
Thank you, Tara.
