Explanation:
1- The Battle of Camden was fought on August 16, 1780 during the American War of Independence. The battle took place about six miles north of Camden, South Carolina. It ended with a defeat of the American forces led by Horatio Gates.
2- The Battle of Kings Mountain took place on October 7, 1780 in the framework of the United States War of Independence. The battle was an important and decisive American victory, marking a turning point in the American Revolution.
3- The Battle of Cowpens took place on January 17, 1781 during the southern campaign of the American War of Independence at Cowpens in South Carolina. It was a smashing victory for the revolutionary forces led by Brigadier General Daniel Morgan against the British forces of Banastre Tarleton. The battle was a turning point in the conquest of South Carolina and is known to the Americans as one of the tactical highlights of the war.
4- The Battle of Guilford Courthouse was fought on March 15, 1781 near present-day Greensboro as part of the larger events of the southern theater of the American War of Independence; the battle confronted the American forces led by General Nathanael Greene and those of the Kingdom of Great Britain led by General Charles Cornwallis.
The clash was one of the hardest in the southern theater of the war: Cornwallis's forces remained the field's master and forced Greene to retire after a bloody fight, but the British success was more than anything a pyrrhic victory since the losses in the ranks of the the British Army were more than double of those suffered by the Americans.
5- George Rogers Clark was a Virginia soldier and was the highest-ranking US military officer on the northwest border during the United States War of Independence. Clark was the leader of the Kentucky militia during much of the war. Clark is best known for his famous captures of Kaskaskia (1778) and Vincennes (1779), also known as the Mississippi tributary forts.
