The first land battle of the Revolution in the South was at Ninety Six, South Carolina, November 19-21, 1775.  In 1780, the British controlled South Carolina.  Ninety Six was the key to the back country.  Here the British built a star shaped fort of earthen embankment and withstood a 29 day siege by General Greene and his army.  Star Fort is intact and visible today.
