Cowpens Battle Echoes in Morgan's Bold Tactics

The 1781 Cowpens engagement near northwest South Carolina saw Gen. Daniel Morgan directly organize militia and Continental forces to repel Banastre Tarleton. Morgan’s forward line plan, Pickens reserves, and Washington cavalry shaped a decisive, hourlong victory with 1100 British troops facing heavy losses and American casualties minimal. The episode follows Cornwallis’ broader effort to curb Loyalists as Ferguson's King's Mountain defeat previously unsettled Tory resistance.

Ten year term limit proposed for House by Rick Barton

Democratic candidate Rick Barton proposes a 10 year cap on service in the House of Representatives to curb seniority and refresh the body. He argues a decade is long enough to do effective work while keeping legislators connected to their home districts. The plan would not force immediate resignations for those already past ten years.

Lawmakers debate term limits for new Congress

House members, regardless of prior service, would begin with an effective date for the legislation. Retiring members could ally with the 75 freshmen in the current Congress to push for a 10-year limit. Barton says now is an excellent time to introduce the measure.
