who led the american revolutionaries to victory at kettle creek?
andrew pickens
he emerged as a military leader in long cane, fighting against the cherokee who had allied with the loyalists. in the year 1779 henry clinton deployed british soldiers to both south carolina and north carolina to encourage loyalist support. on february 14, 1779, colonel pickens and his 300-man militia overtook the larger british force of 700–800 men under colonel boyd at kettle at the battle of kettle creek in wilkes county, georgia, just south of the long canes. the victory at kettle creek slowed the recruitment of the loyalists. however, when the british defeated the southern continental army in 1780 in the siege of charleston, pickens surrendered a fort in the ninety-six district and he, along with his 300 militia men, on oath, agreed to sit out of the war.
