After victory at Cowpens, American commander General Daniel Morgan marched his army off this field to the north and crossed the Broad River. In North Carolina, Morgan dismissed the militia.
Many of the heroes of Cowpens helped build the nation. Some stayed in their native states; others crossed the mountain to open the West. At least ten served in Congress, representing free states.
The Victory at Cowpens was a decisive battle leading to the British surrender at Yorktown.
