The Americans administered “a devil of a whipping”! The battle would prove to be a turning point for the Revolution in the southern part of the country.
Thank you Tara. The victory at Cowpens was instrumental in our eventual victory over the British. The confusing tactics were either brilliant or lucky but they won the day. Those guerilla tactics were not traditional and probably greatly confused the British.
I love the history of the patriots in South Carolina, Georgia, and North Carolina during the American Revolution. There were a fiery lot! And the Battle of Cowpens was a rich win that inspired the patriots and showed the British once again that the Americans were anything but inferior to the much better equipped British! Thank you for sharing this wonderful story, Tara Ross! It always brings a smile to my face!
It takes a master warrior whose strength is in his knowledge’s of not only the enemy, but also knowing the situation and how to fight successfully. Daniel Morgan certainly was a master warrior which made him an admired hero. Another new history lesson. We will have to check out Cowpens battle field the next time we visit that area.

Once again, you've brought a little-known, yet strategic battle to the forefront and made us all the more educated about our history. Thank you, Tara!
Thanks Tara. I enjoy the history around my local area. Many places to visit. I have been to many.

🇺🇲Another story we should know, but many of us don't... thank you. 🇺🇲
South Carolina was a hotbed for British loyalists during the Revolution,but The Swamp Fox among others kept Them at bay.🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
Another wonderful gem. Thank you Tara.
A great battle and good account. Another worth reading is on A daily dose of the American Revolution https://www.facebook.com/109251118395025/posts/pfbid0ZareKUxiunMy1vyU7Qcs5Sj5AF8AFdiGKvvYue53Cd49w3KgB3Em7FtgrJ6ivYuel/?mibextid=cr9u03
It's still strange to think of Camden as "the South". TY again Tara!
Camden, SC, is certainly in the South!
My bad! I thought she was referencing Camden NJ! 😁
Morgan's name comes up a lot in your stories Tara, and others that I've read.
