Entry #14: The Failed Attack 09/09/1780

The south are trying to fight back but the British are too strong. In August, a Patriot by the name of Horatio Gates planned to drive the British out of Camden, South Carolina. However, when they attacked they were weak, tired, and hot. They drastically lost this battle against the overpowering British.

Meanwhile, the patriots have thought of another idea. Francis Marion had created a hit and run army with guerrilla soldiers. They later called Francis “Swamp Fox”.
