In April 1780, the Marylanders were ordered south to reinforce the garrison at Charleston, South Carolina. For the next three weeks, the New Jersey Brigade, just back from guard posts near the British lines, moved into the Maryland huts. The Jersey troops were then relieved by the Continental Line, which moved into this area in May. Although the weather had improved, the rations had not, and two hungry Connecticut regiments mutinied here on May 25, 1780. Washington declared that the mutiny gave him “infinitely more concern than any thing that ever happened.”
