Shelby Wilkinson · Answer 2

It's The Battle of Kettle Creek.

The Battle of Kettle Creek was one of the most important wars fought in Georgia during the American Revolutionary War.

The battle began in February 14, 1779, when a force of around 400 American revolutionaries surprisingly attack the Loyalists, the ones loyal to the British Crown that had recently captured Savannah, Georgia. After four hours, the revolutionaries ended gaining the battle, even though the Loyalists outnumbered them.

The victory proved that British weren't capable to hold the interior of the American's state nor to protect Loyalist recruits outside their immediate area.
