The British, after receiving reinforcements, numbered more than 300 soldiers and vastly outnumbered the Americans. Several Americans were killed, including Captain William Wilmont, the last continental soldier killed in the Carolinas. In addition to Wilmont, an enslaved African American, William Smith, was taken captive by the British forces and died in British captivity. As the skirmish finished, the remaining American troops retreated. The British would soon withdraw from the Americas, marking the end of the American Revolutionary War. (en)
