South Carolina declared her independance from Great Britain on March 15, 1776, making it the first colony to do so.
214 military engagements were fought in South Carolina or in her waters during the Revolution, more than in all the other colonies combined.
Among the most important battles of the Revolution, The Battle of Cowpens marked the first time Colonial forces defeated the British in a pitched battle with Napoleonic tactics, and is considered a major turning point in the war.

First action however, was North Carolina
Well... The infamous Thirteen colonies which included Georgia, South Carolina, North Carolina, Virginia, Pennsylvania, New Jersey, Connecticut, Maryland, Delaware, New York, Massachusetts, Rhode Island, New Hampshire and Maine were all liberated at once due to the Declaration of Independence. And the site of the most American revolutionary battles was:
Mass: 3
Penn: 1
SC: 1
VA:2
NY: 5
NJ: 1
So that would be New York with the most battles
