Men that have been shooting for food their entire lives can easily hit a red coat. The park is well worth seeing. Nice trails , especially in the fall.

Excellent video as always. I wish I knew you guys were in town.

Yes! The ACTUAL turning point of the Revolution!

More of this series please. Could do War of 1812, Mexican American War, more Civil War.

Ferguson was the only participant of Kings Mountain who had ever seen Britain. Kings Mountain was a civil war. The Civil War was a revolutionary war.

Excellent job. I hope to find more of these information clips.

Lt. Tom Lafferty was one of the nine Loyalists hung. He was my 6grandfather. Interesting fact was my 5grandfather was John L. Lafferty and he fought for the North Carolina patriots. Great Video!

Great video. Grew up a few miles from there and had ancestors that fought there. Truly hallowed ground.

Thanks Eric great video ❤️ Thanks for sharing! 💯👍

Went there recently. I was like, "Why did you park your force on terrain that totally favors the tactics and style of your adversary???" Was told that the "Fire and sword" proclamation could have been a psyop rumor planted by revolutionaries, knowing this would inflame the sensibilities of the Ulster-Scots of Applachia.

How marvelous, didn't remember that. Thank you so much.

Please visit red bank battlefield in nj, fort mercer located across the delaware from Philadelphia. Recent archaeology has unearthed some burial and artifacts. Great view of the river and good human interest stories

Happy New Year! Wonderful video. Kings Mountain, Cowpens, and Guilford Courthouse were a series of disasters that led the British to abandon South Carolina. I need to visit the park again.

My ancestors were in this battle. Woah 😳

guys the music at the end way hype do that more often

Just here for the music 😁 Which group is playing?

+preservingbattlefields *The Siége of King's Mountain (North Carolina) was a militia-versus-militia war in miniature.* Col. Ferguson (1744-1780), commander o' the 71st Light Foot, was killed in action.

Curious as to why COL William Campbell wasn’t mentioned along with COL Sevier and COL Shelby especially since COL Campbell had been chosen as lead. Thanks

Given how this video described the Battle of Yorktown, I can only wonder what was left out of this video. The British Army and American patriots met at Yorktown with Rochsmbeau’s French soldiers. Yorktown was a Franco-American victory, made possible by De Grasse and the French navy who won the Battle of the Capes and successfully blockaded the Chesapeake Bay. This prevented the British Navy from reenforcing Cornwallis at Yorktown or evacuating the British army from Virginia. More French sailors died during the Battle of the Capes than the combined British and American deaths at Yorktown. Also of note, the French brought 5,000 pounds if salted meat to feed the French and American soldiers. If you read Washington’s papers, you’ll find that he was very worried about that supply arriving. They also transported the heavy siege guns that Rochambeau had in Rhode Island. These guns were too heavy for the American Continental soldiers and Rocsmbeau’s troops to drag with them during their forced march from New York to Yorktown. The American patriot government was broke and the soldiers hadn’t been paid in months. De Grasse collected the equivalent of Ten million dollars from Spain and Cuban citizens and brought it with him to the American government allowing us to continue financing our efforts. Rochambeau, a highly experienced and successful general, also arranged with De Grass to bring the French fleet to the Chesapeake and ultimately, Washington had to sgree to this. Washington wanted the Zfrench fleet to come to New York. Rochambeau felt that Vlinton was too established in New York and the British could not be defeated there. We could not have won the war without this foreign assistance. It is a disservice to our understanding of American history to leave it out.

Loved My ancestors fought there

👍👍
