	Military History Online - The Battle of Cowpens
		One of the central questions that has always surrounded the Battle of Cowpens is why Morgan decided to accept battle, where he chose to have the battle take place, and whether he fought because he wanted to or because he had to.
		This was Morgan's main line of battle, and he hoped that by giving the militia advance permission to retreat after firing three volleys they would do enough damage to the advancing British that the Continentals could repulse them.
		For a battle of its size, with less than 3000 combatants on both sides, Cowpens had as important an influence on the war in the South as Saratoga did on the war in the North.
