Battle of Tearcoat Swamp

The Battle of Tearcoat Swamp was a battle during the American Revolutionary war between Lieutenant Colonial Francis Marion's Patriot militia, and a Loyalist Militia led by Lieutenant Colonial Samuel Tynes. The battle took place on the 25th of October, 1780 in present-day Clarendon County, South Carolina.
==Background==

After the Battle of Camden and the subsequent defeat, and departure of the Continental Army from South Carolina, Francis Marion already a lieutenant colonial commanding the Williamsburg Militia in the Pee Dee area used his militia force of 20 to 70 men to harass enemy forces and disrupt supply lines.〔Columbia: Sandlapper Press, 1972. "Revolutionary History, Clarendon County, SC." Revolutionary History, Clarendon County, SC〕 Marion and his militia operated primarily in South Carolina, between the Pee Dee and Santee Rivers throughout 1780. Unlike the regular army Marion's Militia used guerrilla warfare to engage and harass both the British Army and the Loyalist Militia's in the area. Marion's Militia was made of citizen’s farmers and slaves from the surrounding countryside, due to the lack of war materials available these men provided their own armaments, mounts and food. In return they were allowed to join the militia and leave freely at any time at their own discretion. In early fall Marion received correspondence from General Horatio Gates who encouraged him to continue his offensive. His confidence bolstered Marion moved into the area of Brittons Neck, South Carolina. At first the citizens of the surrounding area did not respond to Marion's call to arms, however after threatening departure to North Carolina Marion was able to gather 152 men.
