Topic: Revolutionary War: Moore's Creek Battleground and the Scots-Irish in NC

Speaker: John Miles

The Revolutionary War battle of Moore's Creek Bridge, NC occurred in 1776 as a group of Scottish Loyalists comprising the 84th Royal Highland Emigrant Regiment were trying to execute a link-up with British Amphibious Forces approaching Wilmington. 

Patriot forces got intel about the planned link-up and set up a blocking position at a bridge across Moore's Creek (the last significant obstacle on the way to Wilmington). The 84th Regiment then attempted a frontal assault on the Patriot defensive position using the traditional Scottish tactic of a Highland Charge.
