The Battle of Kings Mountain, fought in Cherokee County, South Carolina on October 7, 1780, was an important American victory during the American Revolution. The battle was the first major Patriot victory to occur after the British invasion of Charleston in May 1780. The Battle of Kings Mountain, along with the Battle of Cowpens, forced General Charles Cornwallis to pull his troops out of South Carolina and move them farther north, leading to the Battle of Yorktown that ended the war.
