The Battle of Kettle Creek took place during the American Revolutionary War on February 14, 1779, in Georgia. It was a significant victory for the American Patriots against British forces. The battle was fought between a smaller contingent of Patriots led by Colonel Andrew Pickens and a larger force of Loyalists commanded by Colonel James Boyd. Despite being outnumbered, the Patriots managed to surprise the Loyalists and launch a successful attack. The battle lasted for a few hours, resulting in the surrender and capture of the Loyalists. The Patriots also acquired much-needed supplies, arms, and ammunition. The Battle of Kettle Creek bolstered Patriot morale and hindered British efforts to recruit Loyalist support in the southern colonies.
