On February 22, 1781, Continental General Nathanael Greene led his army south across the Dan River into North Carolina (advance patriot forces had crossed on the 19th). Although the battle did not result in a patriot victory, it proved to be one more step towards the British Army’s demise in the south. It was the first major engagement between the American and British armies following the famous “Race to the Dan” in early 1781, and proved to be a violent exchange. The Battle of Guildford Courthouse, which took place in modern-day Greensboro, North Carolina, was a fierce battle between the military minds of General Nathanael Greene and General Charles Cornwallis.
