Is it True or False 'The colonial forces under Gates' command fought bravely against the British at Camden, South Carolina?


Rate This Answer

The American force was at the Battle of Camden largely composed of raw militia, who broke and fled at the first fire, throwing their loaded muskets to the ground. The regulars fought with great bravery, but the odds were against them, and the American army was totally routed. Gates was replaced by Nathaniel Greene who helped win the Revolution in the Southern Colonies.
