washington disbanded the riflemen during the war.and daniel morgan was such a cry baby up north and got mad and took his little rifle corps and went home.at cowpens he did reedeem hisself but by making it hard to run by having the river behind his men. and by putting the militia up front. I am glad to see a rev war topic here.I have lived that war and time period since 1989 as militia.but our army was no good until we learned how to use the bayonett.as the hessian commander fighting up north said. these riflemen are to pitied not feared.after their first shot they take to long to reload and find their selfs pinned to the trees by our bayonetts.but at guilford courthouse the militia fired the 2 volleys that was asked of them before they fell back.did do heave damage to the brit chains of command by killing subaltrens and officers.
