and this is where you've got kings mountain and cowpens. the battle of kings mountain was thomas jefferson called it the turning point of the american revolution where you have predominantly militias who are battling it out on king's mountain and ultimately, the patriots succeed. and then at the battle of cow pens, you have daniel morgan taking advantage of a misconception of a misconception by the british that the militia were untrained and cowardly and would turn tail and run. and this was a rightfully so asterisk, rightfully so assumption. they had seen it in previous battles. but at the battle of cowpens, morgan uses it to his advantage to lull the british forces into a false sense of security as the british fled battlefield and the british pursued them and then came upon the continental tour ready and waiting. so there is a lot going on in the southern theater, in the southern campaigns that are directly affecting the impact, the results. war. so those are the only three misconceptions that i'm really going to address today. there is a

would get visitors to cowpens. that would say i came here as you know, they're you know gray-haired i came in when i came here when i was in fourth grade and it's it's very cool that they have these memories because they came there as kids. but yeah, definitely people local to the area no more than say someone who didn't grow up. say in the car. alright then from coral any connections between north and south sites, that could be built on like harriet tubman insights in maryland and york. definitely that possibility with the tooth coming up. this is an opportunity for site to cross the us to share in these common threads that do leave themselves in their stories. you have somebody like nathaniel green who spend some time up in morristown? okay, so i'll shout out to some some northern sites. so you have nathaniel green who's up in morristown as a quartermaster. he finds his way down south, so they're obviously people and stories that easily link together and that's kind of the big. a big challenge or a big call to ac

about the battle of cowpens. because babbitts takes it not only the -- you know, the accounts of the people who fought in the battle but also using archeology and experiment -- re-enactors and sprmtal archeology to judge this, and stuff like that and trying to, you know, on the landscape, you know, being able to interpret that battle. i just think -- by taking all these different aspects it really brings it to life. and so yeah. i would argue that's one. >> so without -- we have someone that's asking, is anyone currently working on a new biography of daniel morgan? do you think he need a new biography out there? he's been talked about a little bit. so no, i'm sorry, whoever asked that question. nobody in this panel is currently working on a daniel morgan biography. >> claire wrote something about him. not too long ago. it was pretty good. >> i was going to say, i will work -- because mike was talking about haize necessary's regiment. holly mare did a book in the 1990's, belonging to the army and wrote a book on h

i was just gonna say even if it's just based on cowpens. it's just you know with it with a really tiny force at the end of his tether. and and basically his tactics inspired greens, you know greens it it feel for courthouse. um where they basically you know beat the crap out of that they lost the battle, but they decimated the british ranks. so yeah, i mean. that's what i was gonna say. that's who i was gonna say. i i mean you've got this gruff. a kind of soldier whose leading and inspiring, you know, the the soldiers and read them, but he's also taking advantage of as much information as he's got and using it and and the way he's able to like i just really love the fact that he took what was a misconception about militia and used it to his advantage at calvin's successfully and it's kind of like i mean, how can you not like daniel morgan so he was gonna be who i would have said but to defend to defend washington before he became a real bureau cat bureaucrat william was the onset of 77 and especially 78 and went through the rest of the war.
