General Cornwallis had as his strategy to conduct war in South
Carolina, taking and holding the important port city of Charleston, and
then move north through North Carolina, meeting up with General Howe to
end the campaign. It was a bold plan, and he had dealt a blow to the
continental forces on the field of battle on a number of occasions.

of logistics he had at his disposal. The linchpin of his plan called
for the utilization of loyalist forces to do battle with patriots.
