This Day in History: July 12

The Battle of Williamson's Plantation was a significant turning point for the backcountry during the American Revolution. Early on the morning of July 12, 1780, a battle was fought near the home of Lt. Col. William Bratton in York County, South Carolina, which was to have far-reaching consequences for the Patriot cause. This engagement is known as the Battle of Williamson's Plantation or, more popularly, simply as "Huck's Defeat." [More]
