Abstract:
The Battle of South Mills, also known as the Battle of Sawyer’s Lane and the Battle of Camden, occurred in Camden County, NC on April 9, 1862. It happened after General Burnside took Roanoke Island, and he sent troops to blow up the locks on the Dismal Swamp Canal at South Mills, NC. Burnside hoped by destroying the locks, he could prevent the Confederacy from sending their small ironclad gunboats through the canal to the Albemarle Sound to threaten Union troops. After two Union forces got lost going to South Mills, they were attacked by Confederate forces in a three hour battle. The Union forces retreated back to their ships leaving a trail of destruction and mayhem.
