 Thomas Sumter
One of the greatest heroes of the American Revolution in the South, Thomas Sumter fought with courage after the loss of Charleston, SC, forming a brigade of militia in the backcountry while Gov. Rutledge removed to North Carolina.
During this time, Sumter led his militia repeatedly against British Regulars in a guerilla war, rarely defeating them, yet effectively disrupting both lines of supply and lines of communication.
Although the Americans suffered a serious blow to their high-level command, including Sumter and three colonels, the South Carolina militia won a stunning victory that laid the groundwork for the British defeat at Cowpens.
