The Battle of Charleston

On this day in 1776,

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

And in 1778,
Gen. Lee fails in his attack of the British rear guard as they move to across New Jersey toward New York City. Washington rushes in to rally the troops at the famous Battle of Monmouth Courthouse.
