Revolutionary War

Salisbury, NC was our next stop. From here we were able to visit 2 battlefields from the Revolutionary War. Kings Mountain and Guilford Courthouse were battles which helped turn the tide of the war. We had stopped at Cowpens Battlefield on our way to Mount Pleasant in October. When us Yankees think of the Revolution we think immediately think of Concord and Lexington, MA. We have taken the opportunity to learn of the Southern campaign which led to the British surrender at Yorktown, VA. When one is raised in the north it seems that the focus of American history was always centered in the Northeast. Our travels have enabled us to see the other involvement of the growth of our country in other areas as well.
