Battle of Camden 16 August 1780

American War of Independence

Battle during the American Revolutionary War (American War of Independence). After defeat in Battle of Saratoga and France joining the conflict British forces changed their strategy and decided to attack the southern colonies first. After capturing Charleston General Cornwallis was in charge of the campaign. He considered the crossroads in Camden to be vital for his future efforts, but former British officer Horatio Gates, now General of Continental Army, prepared his forces to stop Cornwallis.

Although Americans have advantage in numbers (3,700 soldiers against 2,100 British) only small part of his troops were regulars from Continental Army, rest of which were local militia men and volunteers. Also British had the advantage of not only artillery, but also British Legion (known as Tarleton’s Raiders) - infamous for their bravery and high casualties they were causing to enemies.

Inexperienced Continental Army forces could not stand the chance against highly experienced British forces and after their lines were broken cavalry flanked the main forces of Gates. British have lost 300 men (dead and wounded) while American forces lost 900 killed and wounded plus about 1000 captured.
