📜 Description:
On August 16, 1780, the Battle of Camden became one of the most crushing defeats for the Patriot cause during the American Revolution. General Horatio Gates, riding high from his victory at Saratoga, led an inexperienced and unprepared Continental Army against the well-trained British forces of General Charles Cornwallis in South Carolina. The result? A swift and disastrous Patriot rout, with American troops fleeing the battlefield in chaos.

In this 2-minute, 48-second video, we break down the battle’s key moments, why the American forces were overwhelmed, and how this defeat reshaped the Southern Campaign. Though Camden was a low point for the Patriots, it paved the way for new leadership, including General Nathanael Greene, who would turn the tide of war in the South.
