Cowpens

Few towns in South Carolina have a history as closely tied to the American Revolution as Cowpens. On 17 January 1781, Continental troops under Brigadier General Daniel Morgan defeated British forces led by Lieutenant Colonel Banastre Tarleton at the Battle of Cowpens, a turning point in the Southern campaign. The town lies in the rolling South Carolina Piedmont, and the nearby Cowpens National Battlefield preserves ground associated with the conflict. Its visitor center and walking trail interpret the battle and the people involved, placing this Upstate community within the wider story of American independence.
