The Battles of Kings Mountain and Cowpens : The American Revolution in the Southern Backcountry Paperback / softback
by Melissa A. Walker
Part of the Critical Moments in American History series
Paperback / softback
Description
The American South is so identified with the Civil War that people often forget that the key battles from the final years of the American Revolution were fought in Southern states.
The Southern backcountry was the center of the fight for independence, but backcountry devotion to the Patriot cause was slow in coming.
Decades of animosity between coastal elites and backcountry settlers who did not enjoy accurate representation in the assemblies meant a complex political and social milieu throughout this turbulent time.
The Battles of Kings Mountain and Cowpens brings to light the world of the Southern backcountry that engendered its role in the Revolutionary War.
With careful attention to political, social, and military history, Walker concentrates on the communities and events not typically covered in books on the Revolutionary War.
Through government documents, autobiographies, correspondence, and diaries, The Battles of Kings Mountain and Cowpens gives students of the Revolution an important new perspective on the role of the South in the resolution of the fighting.
