I am interested in any Virginia military presence in South Carolina in the Revolutionary War. I am aware of:
Revolutionary War:
- Gen Danl Morgan coming out of retirement to lead continental troops at Cowpens.
- Some Va regiments surrendering at Charleston in 1780 when Cornwallis took the place. Does anybody know the designation of the regiments and how many troops surrendered?
Civil War:
- No knowledge of any Virginia troops there.
- But a general question. Did Sherman take the city the same way Cornwallis did by cutting it off from the rest of the mainland. i.e NOT by sea.
