сражение у Кингс-Маунтин
Сражение Войны за независимость [War of Independence], произошло 7 октября 1780 на границе между Северной и Южной Каролиной, когда около 900 американских стрелков, окружив у горы Кингс-Маунтин крупный отряд британских войск под командованием Корнуоллиса [Cornwallis, Charles C.], одержали убедительную победу над превосходящими силами противника. На месте сражения в 1931 создан Национальный военно-исторический заповедник "Кингс-Маунтин" [Kings Mountain National Military Park]
