Abstract:
The Battle of Moores Creek Bridge, February 27, 1776, was a complete victory for the Patriots, contributing to the Revolutionary cause in the South, with the Colony remaining in the Patriot's possession until British invasion in 1780. Some elements among settlers had not been amalgamated by the general population in 1775, chief of these was a large number of Scottish Highlanders, largely from clans MacDonald (Isles) and McLeod. These clans settled in the central part of the Colony between 1765 and 1775.
