The Battle of Kings Mountain historically saw the defeat of loyalist militia under the illustrious Patrick Ferguson. With his defeat came the end to plan to recruit loyalists in North Carolina (as well as the whole North Carolina campaign before it begun). Many consider it the beginning of the end for the British southern campaign. But what would have happened had the battle never have taken place? What would that mean for the southern campaign? In addition, what would the living of Ferguson (one of the best marksmen then in British service) do?
