17 January 1781\nCowpens, South Carolina\nDecisive American victory\nUnited States Commander\nDaniel Morgan \nGreat Britain Commander\nSir Banastre Tarleton\n\nUS Troop Strength\n1,000 \n\nBritish Troop Strength\n1,100\n\nUS Casualties\n12 dead\n61 wounded \n\nBritish Casualties\n110 dead\n830 captured\n\nThe Battle of Cowpens was one of the many engagements between the Americans and the British during the Southern campaign during the American Revolution. The commanders specifically involved were American Brigadier General Daniel Morgan, commander of some 700 militia, including some Overmountainmen and cavalry, and 300 Continentals, and Englishman Colonel Banastre Tarleton, who headed a legion of 1,100 dragoons, regulars, Tory loyalists, and Highlanders.\n\nGeneral Cornwallis instructed Tarleton and his legion, who had been successful at battles such as Camden and Waxhaws in the past, to destroy Morgan's command. Morgan called Americans to gather at the cow pens (a grazing area), which were a familiar landmark. Tarleton attacked without caution and regard for the fact Morgan had had much more time than himself to prepare, and was consequently caught in a double envelopment. Only about 160 British troops escaped, but the Americans suffered only 73 casualties (12 dead and 61 wounded).\n\nDaniel Morgan knew that he should use the unique landscape of Cowpens and the time available before Tarleton's arrival to his advantage, and so he set up three lines of soldiers: one of skirmishers (sharpshooters), one of militia, and a main one.\n\nThe 150 select skirmishers were from North Carolina (Major McDowell) and Georgia (Major Cunningham). Behind these men were 300 militiamen under the command of Andrew Pickens. Realizing that poorly trained milita were unreliable in battle, especially when they were under attack from cavalry, Morgan decided to ask the militia to fire two shots and then retreat have them reform under cover of the reserve (cavalry commanded by William Washington and James McCall) behind the third, more experienced line of militia and continentals. The third line, composed of the remainder of the forces (about 550 men) was composed of Continentals from Delaware and Maryland, and militiamen from Georgia and Virginia. Colonel Howard commanded the Continentals and Colonels Tate and Triplett the militia. The goal of this strategy was to weaken and disorganize Tarleton's forces, which would be attacking the third line uphill, before attacking defeating them.\n\nAt 2:00 AM on January 17 1981, Tarleton roused his troops and continued his forcemarch to the cow pens. His Tory scouts had told him of the countryside Morgan was fighting on, and he was certain of victory because Morgan's soldiers, mostly militiamen, seemed to be caught between mostly experienced British troops and a flooding river. As soon as he reached the spot, he formed a battle line, which consisted of dragoons on his flanks, with his two grasshopper cannon in between the British regulars and American loyalists. More cavalry and the 71st Highlanders composed his reserve. Sure of an easy victory, he sent his unrested men into battle.\n\nMorgan's strategy worked perfectly. After killing fifteen dragoons, the skirmishers retreated. The British pulled back temporarily, but attacked again, this time reaching the militiamen, who (as ordered) poured two volleys into the British, who, with 40% of their casualties officers, were astonished and confused. They reformed and continued to advance. Pickens's militia broke and apparently fled to the rear and were eventually reorganized. Tarleton responded by ordering one of his officers, Ogilvie, to charge with some dragoons into the "defeated" Americans. Triplett's riflemen attacked, severely damaging the British, and the cavalry of Washington and McCall charged. Completely routed, the dragoons fled to their own rear. Despite this, Tarleton sensed he could still win with only one line of Ame

The War of 1812 was fought between the United States of America and Great Britain and its colonies in British North America (later Canada) from 1812 to 1815 on land and sea. The war formally began on June 18, 1812, with a U.S. declaration of war.\n\nOverview\nThe war took place against the global backdrop of the long struggle between Britain, with a shifting series of European allies, and the French and European empire of Napoleon. In the first decade of the 1800s each side forbade neutral nations to trade with the other side, but only the British (with its dominant Royal Navy) could impose these restrictions upon a burgeoning American merchant marine which had begun to trade worldwide. In addition to their search for contraband, the British stopped American ships to remove sailors whom they regarded as British subjects and, always desperate for trained manpower in the long wars with France, pressed them into service in the Royal Navy. Some British captains were not careful to ensure that these seamen were in fact British rather than American citizens.\n\nThe United States and Britain came to the brink of war in 1807 when the British ship HMS Leopard stopped the American frigate USS Chesapeake just outside American territorial waters. When the American vessel refused to be inspected, the British fired into the frigate, boarded it and removed four seamen whom the British captain claimed to be deserters. Although the British apologized, they did not end their stop and search practices.\n\nThe Americans had hoped for a quick win in the war, since Britain was at war with France under Napoleon. British forces responded to the declaration by the capture of Fort Mackinac on July 17, after the US force under U.S. General William Hull had invaded Canada July 12 at Sandwich (now known as Windsor, Ontario). The British later captured Detroit after turning back an American invasion of Upper Canada in the summer of 1812. The United States defeated combined British and Native Americans armies with victories at the Battle of the Thames, in October 1813, and at the Battle of Horseshoe Bend, in March 1814, but by this time, Britain had successfully concluded the Napoleonic wars and the British were finally able to divert more resources to North America.\n\nDespite several notable successes by U.S. frigates and the menace of American privateers to British trade, the Royal Navy established a strict blockade of American trade causing economic hardship. On land, the U.S. invasion of Canada was swiftly repulsed, and British forces counterattacked across the border, burning Washington, D.C., and occupying the territories that would later become the state of Maine. But the British counteroffensive was turned back at Lake Champlain, Baltimore, and New Orleans. The Treaty of Ghent (ratified in 1815) restored the status quo ante bellum --that is the exact geographical situation as before.\n\nOn the Great Lakes border, more than half of the British forces were made up of Canadian militia. Additionally, many North American Indian peoples had their own reasons for fighting alongside either the British or the Americans. In the Northwest Territory, the War was, in a sense, a continuation of Tecumseh's War after the Indian defeat at the Battle of Tippecanoe in 1811 up to Battle of the Thames in 1813.\n\nSome histories refer to this war as the "War of 1812–14", using the date of the peace treaty as the ending date of the war.\n\n\n[edit] Origins\nMain article: Origins of the War of 1812\nThe main reasons for America declaring war on the British were:\n\nThe boarding of American ships by the Royal Navy to search for alleged deserters, and the forced impressment of American and naturalized American citizens as British seamen. \nThe trade embargoes by Britain and France during the Napoleonic Wars, which resulted in the seizure of hundreds of American merchant ships. \nAmerican Expansionists noticed that the Canadian colonies were only lightly defe

Yes it was terrorism at the time.\nBut you don't judge the winners.\nIf the terrorists win and form their own Country they stopp being terrorists.\nSo consider this, if American Revolution would have failed, George Washington would be known as a terrorist.

The patriots pledged their lives, their fortunes, and their sacred honor, in the fight to free the United States from Britain.\n\nIsaac Sears lost his fortune.\nJohn Paul Jones lost "a great part" of his fortune\n\nFive signers of the Declaration of Independence were captured by the British, and were tortured as traitors before they died.\n\nNine died from wounds they received, fighting in the Revolutionary War\n\nCarter Braxton, a wealthy planter and trader from Virginia, lost his ships in the War and had to sell everything, to pay his debts. He died in rags.\n\nThomas McKeam lost everything.\n\nThomas Nelson, Jr. died bankrupt.\n\nFrancis Lewis had his home and properties destroyed.\n\nJohn Hart's fields and gristmill were destroyed. \n\nPhilip Livingston lost several properties to the British occupation of New York and sold off others to support the war effort, and he did not recover them.\n\nOf course, the patriots, in the American Revolution, were not limited to those who signed the Declaration of Independence or who rose to prominence, later. Wherever the British went, there was hardship and destruction.

He actually lost more battles that he won, but thanks to some good commanders around him he won two strategic battles against the British - Saratoga in 1777 and Yorktown in 1781\n\nIn actual fact as a military strategist he was pretty hopeless, but thanks to those around him America gained its Independence.\n\nIf Washington had been allowed to dictate the strategy for every battle we would be singing "God save the Queen" and flying the Union flag.\n\nHowever, thanks to Hollywood and some romantic ideals we see him both as a great patriot (which he was), and as a great leader (which is highly debatable).

The Revolutionary War.

We have had two wars with Britian, the American Revolution and the War of 1812.  The American Revolution had many causes including taxes without corresponding representation in the British Parliament. Also resentment of the Quartering of British soldiers in colonist homes, the Boston Massacre, and the British punishment of Boston for the Boston Tea party. The War of 1812 was fought because the British were kidnapping American sailors off of American ships, and the British provoking Indians to attack Americans.

Lexington and Concord are considered to be the first full-scale battle(s) of the American Revolution.  Previous fighting/shots did occur, such as the Gaspee and the Boston Tea Party, but it was Lexington and Concord that really set things in motion and had the momentum to keep it going.
