Speaker: Rob Orrison, Emerging Civil War
The Battle of Camden was one of the worst military defeats in American history. On the heels of the surrender of Charleston, American prospects for victory in the South were never dimmer. In this online lecture, Rob Orrison of Emerging Civil War will review the events of summer 1780 leading up to the battle and the decisions and field situations that led to an overly confident Horatio Gates fleeing the field.
