Battle of Charlotte

The Battle of Charlotte is the name given to the Revolutionary War battle in Charlotte, North Carolina on September 26, 1780. The battle took place at the Mecklenburg County Court House, which is now the site of the Bank of America tower at Trade and Tryon Streets in downtown Charlotte. During the battle, General Charles Cornwallis of the British command marched into town and encountered a Patriot militia under the command of William R. Davie in front of the court house. A skirmish ensued, and the Patriots were driven back away north toward Salisbury, NC in Rowan County, NC.
