An Entity of Type: societal event, from Named Graph: http://dbpedia.org, within Data Space: dbpedia.org

The Battle of Waxhaws (also known as the Waxhaws, Waxhaw massacre, and Buford's massacre) took place during the American Revolutionary War on May 29, 1780, near Lancaster, South Carolina, between a Continental Army force led by Abraham Buford and a mainly Loyalist force led by British officer Banastre Tarleton. Buford refused an initial demand to surrender, but when his men were attacked by Tarleton's cavalry, many threw down their arms to surrender. Buford apparently attempted to surrender. However, the British commanding officer Tarleton was shot at during the truce, causing his horse to fall and trap him. Loyalists and British troops were outraged at the breaking of the truce in this manner and proceeded to fall on the Americans.

  • The Battle of Waxhaws (also known as the Waxhaws, Waxhaw massacre, and Buford's massacre) took place during the American Revolutionary War on May 29, 1780, near Lancaster, South Carolina, between a Continental Army force led by Abraham Buford and a mainly Loyalist force led by British officer Banastre Tarleton. Buford refused an initial demand to surrender, but when his men were attacked by Tarleton's cavalry, many threw down their arms to surrender. Buford apparently attempted to surrender. However, the British commanding officer Tarleton was shot at during the truce, causing his horse to fall and trap him. Loyalists and British troops were outraged at the breaking of the truce in this manner and proceeded to fall on the Americans. While Tarleton was trapped under his dead horse, the British continued killing the Continental soldiers, including soldiers who were not resisting. The British gave little quarter to the rebels. Of the 400 or so Continentals, 113 were killed with sabers, 150 so badly injured they could not be moved, and the British and Loyalists took 53 prisoners. "Tarleton's quarter" thereafter meant refusing to take prisoners. In subsequent battles in the Carolinas, it became rare for either side to take significant prisoners. The Battle of Waxhaws became the subject of an intensive propaganda campaign by the Continental Army to bolster recruitment and incite resentment against the British. After Lord Cornwallis surrendered at Yorktown, the only British officer not invited to dine with General Washington was Tarleton. (en)

  • La bataille de Waxhaws est une bataille de la guerre d'indépendance des États-Unis qui eut lieu le 29 mai 1780, près de la ville actuelle de Lancaster en Caroline du Sud, et qui opposa une force de l'Armée continentale, menée par , à une force constituée essentiellement de Loyalistes, conduite par Banastre Tarleton. Le commandant américain refusa une première demande de reddition, mais lorsque ses hommes furent attaqués par la cavalerie de Tarleton, beaucoup d'entre eux jetèrent leurs armes pour se rendre. Les récits diffèrent sur les suites de la bataille : Buford aurait tenté de se rendre mais cela lui aurait été refusé. Les hommes de Tarleton auraient continué à tuer les Patriots, y compris ceux qui ne résistaient pas. C'est à la suite de cette bataille que Banastre Tarleton fut surnommé le « boucher » par les Patriots. (fr)

  • La battaglia di Waxhaws, conosciuta anche come massacro di Waxhws o Massacro di Buford, venne combattuta il 29 maggio 1780 in Carolina del Sud durante la guerra di indipendenza americana. Lo scontro avvenne nel territorio dell'odierna contea di Lancaster, tra le forze americane del colonnello e quelle del tenente colonnello britannico Banastre Tarleton, al comando del 17º Reggimento dragoni leggeri "Duca di Cambridge" e della "Legione Britannica", una forza di lealisti costituita da fanteria e cavalleria (dragoni). Fu uno degli episodi più controversi della guerra; le truppe britanniche e lealiste, guidate dallo spietato Tarleton, non risparmiarono i prigionieri e tennero un comportamento crudele e brutale durante la battaglia.
