The British, under command of General Cornwallis was out to defeat a group of Patriots that were commanded by General Morgan. General Morgan, realizing how out-numbered he was, went to Catherine Moore Barry for help. This was because she knew all the short cuts, the trail, where Patriots lived, and how to contact them. All by herself, Catherine rounded up the local Patriots to join General Morgan's troops. With Catherine's help, General Morgan laid a trap.
