Abstract:

The British invaded North Carolina in 1781, the Battle of Guilford Courthouse, occurring on March 15. What appeared initially as a pathway for British conquest went drastically downhill when heavy casualties and dwindling supplies forced a harsh march back to Wilmington despite their winning the battlefield at Guilford. Primary commanders in the conflict were General Nathanael Greene, representing the American forces and General Charles Cornwallis, representing the British.
