The siege of Ninety Six was a siege in western South Carolina late in the American Revolutionary War. From May 22 to June 18, 1781, Continental Army Major General Nathanael Greene led 1,000 troops in a siege against the 550 Loyalists in the fortified village of Ninety Six, South Carolina. The 28-day siege centered on an earthen fortification known as Star Fort. Despite having more troops, Greene was unsuccessful in taking the town, and was forced to lift the siege when Lord Rawdon approached from Charleston with British troops.

  • Осада Девяносто-Шестого (англ. Siege of Ninety-Six) — одно из сражений американской войны за независимость на территории Южной Каролины. 22 мая 1781 армия генерала Натанаэля Грина осадила британский деревянный форт около селения в округе Гринвуд. Грин продержал форт в осаде около месяца, но затем узнал о приближении британской армии и 18 июня попытался взять форт штурмом. Атака была отбила, и Грину пришлось отступать к Шарлотту. Несмотря на победу, британское командование решило эвакуировать гарнизон и уничтожить форт. (ru)
