The turn of the tide in the South! ✨
On October 7, 1780, a fierce force of frontier militia known as the "Overmountain Men" launched a surprise assault on Loyalist forces at the Battle of Kings Mountain in South Carolina. In just over an hour, these brave patriots secured a crushing victory that Thomas Jefferson later called "the turn of the tide of the success of the Revolution."
Today, the Morning Star Chapter, National Society Daughters of the American Revolution honors the rugged determination and fierce patriotism of those who fought to change the course of American history.
