They called it impossible odds—until Morgan turned retreat into revolution. At Cowpens, 1,100 ragtag Americans faced Tarleton's 1,150 elite British dragoons in what should have been another colonial massacre. But Morgan had drilled his militia in something no European manual taught: ordered retreat as tactical weapon. Two volleys, then run—straight into the killing zone where Continental regulars waited on the reverse slope. Tarleton took the bait, charging after "fleeing" farmers while Washington's cavalry circled through the woods. The trap snapped shut like clockwork—militia wheeling back from both flanks, Continentals rising from concealment, dragoons thundering into British rear guards. Formations crumbled, officers fell, and Europe's finest found themselves surrounded by men they'd dismissed as rabble. The mathematics flipped in minutes: 100 British dead, 600 captured, Tarleton's reputation shattered. One gamble, one morning—colonial farmers teaching the world that tactical genius trumps military orthodoxy.
