A stunning example of skilled leadership by Patriot Brigadier General Daniel Morgan, the Battle of Cowpens was a critical American victory in the Revolutionary War. This engagement, in which British Lieutenant Colonel Banastre Tarleton’s elite force was humiliated by local militia and Continentals, further weakened the Crown’s attempts to control the southern colonies and inspired the Patriots to continue the fight for independence.
