American Revolution-HELP!?

Question

I am doing a report on The Battle oF Kings Mountain and Cowpens in the American Revolution for a report, its my final History report, and it huge! I can't find much information though...IF you could list some websites and books that might help that'd be great!!!!!!

Answer 1

Both those battles were considered wins for the Americans if not in fact at least in building their confidence. Googling the Battle of Cowpens should even give a battlefield layout. It has recently been excavated and the artifacts help clarify the battle itself.

Major Ferguson was instrumental in adding the Ferguson's rifle to the arms we used. Was quite an improvement in its day for faster loading of a musket by suing a screw breach block.

Answer 2

It often feels like it. Our two political parties have very different ideas as to what these United States should be and I don't believe we can be both. It is amusing to me that our differences are all around issues which have been faced by other Countries already. In Europe, as I understand it, there is movement away from social spending because the Governments have recognized the funding imbalance it creates. In China(the 'Communists') they have very little social spending because they can't afford it. I find it interesting that very few people have done the actual math, if you add up the budgets for Government Health Care Spending(or many other areas of spending) you find we already spend more per capita than many Countries with Universal Coverage. Go Figure! Some people feel the 'Bill of Rights' was a pick & choose buffet. Each enumerated Right will spark pages of debate. I love my land as much as any Patriot, but it is for the Constitution I have Passion, and I have sworn to support & defend it against all enemies, foreign & domestic. In the end though, the only geographical divide that kind of exists is between the Urban & Rural, and that is not solid. Any civil unrest could not really coalesce into battle lines, so I think we would just have to work it out. We might go into a 'rough patch' sometime soon and perhaps it will be called a Revolution, but not all out war, I pray not!
