If you look at several of the more famous tales of the Revolution, it’s odd how you encounter a very similar story in both the south and New England, with the New England version propelled to fame and the more humble, little-known southern one relegated to being classified as apocryphal and a likely copy of the New England tale. The midnight ride of Betsy Dowdy in northeastern North Carolina springs to mind. Black Bess, her little Banker Pony sounds oddly familiar too. There are several other examples.
And the Revolutionary War was won in the southern theater, long after the fighting had ended up north.
The string of battles in the south leading up to Yorktown don’t get the attention that Concord & Lexington, Bunker Hill, Crossing the Delaware, Valley Forge and other northern events routinely get. Students of the war will know Cowpens, King’s Mountain, the Race to the Dan, but the general public isn’t likely to know them.
I had a dozen or so ancestors involved in the fighting down south, a couple were Continental Line but most were militia. The Thomas Carroll mentioned in the battle at Williamson’s Plantation/Huck’s Defeat is one of them:
