  • Сражение при Монкс-Корнер (Battle of Monck's Corner) — одно из сражений войны за независимость США, которое произошло 14 апреля 1780 года во время осады Чарлстона, к северу от города. Американская кавалерия в районе Монкс-Корнер создавала угрозу британской армии в случае её переправы через реку Купер, поэтому генерал Клинтон поручил Тарлтону устранить эту угрозу. Тарлтон смог внезапно напасть на американский лагерь и полностью разгромить американский отряд. Разгром при Монкс-Корнер позволил британцам перейти реку Купер и полностью отрезать Чарлстон от внешнего мира. Американцы лишились своей кавалерии и не смогли далее препятствовать британским рейдам в Южную Каролину и их фуражировкам. (ru)
