It’s so interesting how the Patriots kept coming back from the jaws of certain defeat and pushed on. They were able to persevere and get the ultimate victory. Our history is intriguing in many ways.

Thank you Dr. Ross for the interesting details in this story. I am continually amazed that the patriots were able to accomplish all these smaller successes and deter the British in the many battles and skirmishes that occurred. It is surely a tribute to the determination and focus of the early Americans without the lines of communication that we currently enjoy. May each of us be inspired to focus on the important matters at hand. May God continue to Bless America 🇺🇸❤

Perseverance was certainly in the blood of the Patriots. Otherwise, I don't know how they would have eventually won the war. The battle of Kettle Creek was a good example of the determination of the American Patriots. Often outnumbered and with none of the technology we have today, they persevered and won the day. Thank you Tara for your continued education.

You just gotta love the pluck of the Southern Patriots as they took the battle to the British and Tories! They make for some of the most colorful history of the American Revolution!
