On December 16, 1780, General Nathaniel Green ordered Daniel Morgan to take command of a corps of light infantry, a detachment of militia, and Lieutenant Colonel Washington's regiment of light dragoons to protect that part of the country, spirit up the people, distress the enemy, and afford protection to the country. Morgan chose this ground for its tactical advantages: a river to the rear to discourage the ranks from breaking, rising ground on which to post his regulars, an open forest, and marsh on one side to thwart flanking maneuvers.
