Most Americans have heard of the “shot heard ‘round the world” in 1775 at Lexington, MA; the frozen 1777 winter camp of Valley Forge; the 1776 Christmas surprise attack on Trenton; and the set-piece siege of Yorktown in 1781. Without question these were high points in the American Revolutionary War. However, they’ve been placed in such high esteem in American history courses that there’s been little room left for other important battles. Many more are worthy of consideration, especially in the South. The massacre of Waxhaws, the disaster of Camden, the exquisite victory at the Cowpens, the destruction of a loyalist force at King’s Mountain, the narrow escape in the “Race to the Dan,” and the siege and capture of Charleston, to name a few. America’s second-most important battle commander, Nathanael Greene, came into his own in this period. This lecture course will present many of these consequential battles and events in the American Revolutionary War. Neither Part 1 nor prior knowledge is required.
