Patriot militia pulled up the planks of a bridge, greased the girders with soap and tallow, and waited. Loyalist Highlanders charged across it into massed fire and the fight was over in three minutes. It ended organised Loyalist strength in the colony and helped push North Carolina to be the first to instruct its delegates to vote for independence.
That was 1 of the hidden places.
