    Description

    BANASTRE TARLETON
    .  Banastre Tarleton (1754-1833) was the notorious British military leader of General Charles Cornwallis’ cavalry during the American Revolution.  He was infamous for his brutal tactics and hard-hitting attacks which gave him the nicknames “Bloody Tarleton” and “The Butcher”.  Tarleton arrived in New York in the Spring of 1776 and served in the Campaigns in New York and New Jersey in 1776 and 1777.  He went south to Charleston in 1780 and fought bitterly in the Carolinas.  When American forces attempted to surrender at the Battle of the Waxhaws in May 1780, Tarleton continued his assault symbolizing British cruelty in the war.  He suffered a major defeat at the Battle of Cowpens in January 1781 forcing Cornwallis to pull his troops out of South Carolina and move them farther north.  Tarleton surrendered alongside Cornwallis at the Battle of Yorktown in October 1781 putting an end to the war.
