Greene had retreated with his forces intact…

April 1781 CE

Greene had retreated with his forces intact to avoid another Camden.

Cornwallis, with his small army, less than two thousand strong, had declined to follow Greene into the back country.

Retiring to Hillsborough, he had raised the royal standard, offered protection to the inhabitants, and for the moment appeared to be master of Georgia and the two Carolinas.

In a few weeks, however, he abandons the heart of the state and marches to the coast at Wilmington, North Carolina, to recruit and refit his command.
