Cowpens National Battlefield
Gaffney, South Carolina
Some of the most brutal fighting of the
American Revolution took place in the
Southern states. Although armies
battled here, the war in the South was
also a conflict of neighbor against
neighbor and family against family.

Even so, from stunning Patriot
victories like Cowpens and Kings
Mountain came the momentum that
propelled the fledgling United States
to ultimate victory over one of the
superpowers of the 18th century
world on the field at Yorktown, Virginia.
