Battle of Cowpens is one of the most famous battles of the American Revolution, it took place in South Carolina....two months after the Battle of Kings Mt, in Jan 1781, under Brig Gen Daniel Morgan , the Americans annihilated nearly a third of Cornwallis army including all his light troops. These two battles were the beginnig of the end for Britain, and led to victory for the Colonies. There is much information available, makes for some interesting reading.....if your ancestor fought there you can take great pride in that fact. Margie Brown
