1780 was the darkest year of the American Revolution, as the British, embarking on a plan to subjugate the American South, which they felt contained much more Loyalist support, won battle after battle against incompetent American generals -namely Gen.Benjamin Lincoln who surrendered 4,000 troops at Charleston and General Gates- whose blunders cost another 2,000 American soldiers to be killed or captured. It was then that British Major Ferguson, hoping to finally squelch American resistance for good- made his threat against the frontiersmen who occupied the western and frontier borders- and these men decided they had had enough of the British. They mounted up, grabbed their Pennsylvania rifles, crossed the mountains, and let freedom ring.
