The British thought that they had the advantage several times when the colonists retreated. But they lost very badly because of the tactical advantage and planning of Daniel Morgan. The colonists killed 110 men, wounded over 200,and captured about 500. They only lost 12 men while about 60 were wounded. This was a major victory for the colonists. ]]> 2018-09-05 12:50:03 UTC https://padlet.com/1153733/xovelupsq3nr/wish/277938237 1153733 https://padlet.com/1153733/xovelupsq3nr/wish/277941794 The Americans were very effective in their planning. While the British were chasing the colonists, they were resting up and being motivated by Daniel Morgan as the surrounding militias joined forces with the continental army. ]]> 2018-09-05 12:57:53 UTC https://padlet.com/1153733/xovelupsq3nr/wish/277941794 https://padlet.com/1153733/xovelupsq3nr/wish/277943245 https://www.nps.gov/cowp/learn/education/classrooms/leaders-at-the-battle-of-cowpens.htm

This eventually led to their downfall int he battle. ]]> 2018-09-05 13:03:27 UTC https://padlet.com/1153733/xovelupsq3nr/wish/277944527 https://padlet.com/1153733/xovelupsq3nr/wish/277946142 Daniel Morgan, was operating about in the back country, I would say this is effective because it caused Tarleton to rush in. This cause the Americans to have an advantage because they had a position where it was hard to be attacked from. ]]> 2018-09-05 13:06:43 UTC https://padlet.com/1153733/xovelupsq3nr/wish/277946142 1153733 https://padlet.com/1153733/xovelupsq3nr/wish/277948892 The Americans were smart in battle because they knew that the British would form lines. So they put sharpshooters behind trees and ambushed the British from the sides with calvary from the Continental Army. This helped to create confusion because they were shooting at officers of the British calvary at the same time. ]]> 2018-09-05 13:11:34 UTC https://padlet.com/1153733/xovelupsq3nr/wish/277948892 https://padlet.com/1153733/xovelupsq3nr/wish/277950201 Tarleton led the British troops poorly. He did not wait for reinforcements and he decided to rush into were the Americans were defending. Americans outnumbered them and the British out ran their cannons so they did not have major firepower. He and 50 other people fled back to Cornwalis's camp.  ]]> 2018-09-05 13:12:37 UTC https://padlet.com/1153733/xovelupsq3nr/wish/277950201 1153733 https://padlet.com/1153733/xovelupsq3nr/wish/277952823 The British had their dragoons (calvary) on the outsides of their lines, light infantry next to the calvary, and artillery in the middle of their lines. They had an aggressive style of battle that led to their defeat. ]]> 2018-09-05 13:16:03 UTC https://padlet.com/1153733/xovelupsq3nr/wish/277952823 1153733 https://padlet.com/1153733/xovelupsq3nr/wish/277954144 The Battle of Cowpens was a turning point for the Americans and the British campaign on the Southern colonies and helped to slow the British. ]]> 2018-09-05 13:18:32 UTC https://padlet.com/1153733/xovelupsq3nr/wish/277954144
