The Americans fought like demons.” – Lt. General Charles, Earl Cornwallis On March 15, 1781, six years into the American Revolution, General Greene and Lord Cornwallis’ troops faced off at a small courthouse community. The battle would change the course of the Southern Campaign of the American Revolution. Cornwallis’ heavy casualties led to his withdrawal from the Carolinas, and, ultimately, his surrender at Yorktown, VA, on October 19, 1781.
