The Battle of Charleston

On this day in 1776,

Col. William Moultrie successfully defends the entrance to Charleston by defeating a British fleet. After sustaining severe damages to several of their ships, the British withdrew from Ft Sullivan during The Battle of Charleston.

And in 1778,

Gen. Lee fails in his attack of the British rear as the move to across New Jersey toward New York City. Washington rushes in to rally the troops at the Battle of Monmouth Courthouse.
