First, it started to rain. Then, we got soaked. After that, we rain into a building, while the thunder and lightning lasted for hours.

Today I am witnessing the Battle of Cowpens  here just north of Cowpens, South Carolina.Brigadier General Daniel Morgan is  hopefully leading the American colonists to victory while Lieutenant Colonel Banastre  Tarlemn is leading the British forces. Looks to me like there are 110 dead for the British and 12 killed for the Americans. 200 wounded for the British and 60 injured for the Americans. Finally 500 taken prisoner from the British and none captured fro the Americans, and we won!! This day should be remembered because it was a devastating effect on the British morale, and increased our confidence. This probably  started when scored victories in South Carolina at Charleston then again in Camden. Then Commander of the Continental Army’s Southern campaign decided to divide the Patriot troops in the Carolinas.Only to force the larger British contingent to fight them on multiply fronts. So now that the British were in smaller groups the Patriots could only now defeat them.  Created to https://reinsteinrevolutionper8.wikispaces.com/Battle+of+Cowpens     for the picture
