Battles of the Revolution

Before the battle at Camden had even begun, Tories across the Catawba River were being attacked by Whigs. Over a thousand Tories had been defeated on June 20, 1780 at Ramsour's Mill, known as Lincolnton today. Cornwallis split the Tories into two groups after the event that occured at Camden. One group was sent to the North Carolina mountains to push the settlements there join the British. There were two invasions Cornwallis had planned into Charlotte, North Carolina. Both attempts were failed and an officer that served alongside Cornwallis reported that Charlotte was the most rebellious country in all of America.
