On this day in 1781, the Battle of Eutaw Springs took place. It was fought on September 8, 1781, in South Carolina and was one of the last major battles of the American Revolution in the Southern Theater. Although technically a British victory, it severely weakened British forces and disrupted their control in the South. American General Nathanael Greene's aggressive tactics forced the British to retreat toward Charleston, limiting their ability to operate broadly in the region. The battle boosted American morale and helped set the stage for the decisive victory at Yorktown one month later. Please click on the link below to learn more about this battle!
