king Mountain Battle

Countless number of battles took place in the American Revolution as we know it 

however there some battle specifically that were crucial for the American victory

in the Independence war. 

First of all we must know that there were two different kinds of groups in the colonies.

The Patriots: who were the ones pursuing independence and fought all the battles against

England

The Loyalists: the loyalists were a percent of the colonial people who were kind of against

patriots, supported the British and intended to keep under the control of them.

In the Southern colonies war became a cruel and bloody civil was with the patriot and loyalists 

confrontations. I must say also that Loyalists at this point (1780) had allied with the British 

and reached to a point of confrontation with Patriots. Even though they were sort of allied 

British didn't support the loyalists in war, therefore they obtained as a result big failure. 

Many historians consider the Battle of Kings Mountain on October 7, 1780 to 

be the turning point in America's War for Independence. 

The victory of the Patriots over British Loyalist troops completely destroyed 

the left wing of Cornwallis' army. This decisive battle successfully ended the British 

invasion into North Carolina and forced Lord Cornwallis to retreat from Charlotte 

into South Carolina to wait for reinforcements. 

This triumphant victory of the Overmountain Men allowed General Nathanael Greene the opportunity to reorganize the American Army.
