On this day in 1780, Major General Benjamin Lincoln of the Continental Army was forced to surrender with 7000 troops at Charleston, South Carolina. This was the largest defeat of American forces during the American Revolution. Lincoln decided to hold Charleston against a combined British army and navy expedition, commanded by General Sir Henry Clinton and Admiral Marriot Arbuthnot. After a siege of six weeks on the peninsula of Charleston, without effective support from the Continental Navy, Lincoln capitulated on May 12, 1780.
