In the southern campaign launched by the British, Cornwallis lost a battle with American under Nathaniel Greeene at A. Charles Town B. Camden C. Savannah D. Cowpens
I choose A
I think you mean Cowpens which was Greene but only indirectly Cornwallis although he was in overall command of that British army.
If you mean Charlestown (Bunker Hill), no way
I'm sorry, but your answer is incorrect. Cornwallis did not lose a battle with the Americans under Nathaniel Greene at Charles Town (A).
To find the correct answer, we can analyze the other options provided: Camden (B), Savannah (C), and Cowpens (D).
To determine the correct answer, we need to consider the events of the southern campaign during the American Revolutionary War. After initial British successes, Nathaniel Greene took over the American forces in the South and adopted a strategy of attrition and harassment against the British.
The Battle of Camden (B) was fought in August 1780, and it was a major defeat for the Americans under Horatio Gates, not Greene. So, B is not the correct answer.
The British captured Savannah (C) in December 1778, prior to Greene's involvement in the southern campaign. Therefore, C is also not the correct answer.
That leaves us with Cowpens (D). The Battle of Cowpens was fought on January 17, 1781, between the American forces under Daniel Morgan and the British forces led by Banastre Tarleton. This battle resulted in a decisive victory for the Americans and was a significant turning point in the southern campaign. Therefore, D is the correct answer.
In summary, the correct answer to the question is D. Cowpens.
