Battle of Cowpen (Part 2)
The Americans plan was deadly affective. Before the Biritsh charge even got close to the American lines the American Army took out most of the officers and some of the soldiers leaving them commandless and with no leader. So after each charge they were all very confused and didnt know what to do. When the Americans depleted the British lines enough, the Americans chraged with their bayonets, causing the very cofused and disoriented British Army to surrender. -
