The Battle of Charlotte was an American Revolutionary War battle fought in Charlotte, North Carolina on September 26, 1780. The battle took place at the Mecklenburg County Court House; which is now the site of the Bank of America tower at Trade and Tryon Streets in downtown Charlotte. An advance guard of General Charles Cornwallis' army rode into town and encountered a well-prepared Patriot militia under the command of William R. Davie in front of the court house. A skirmish ensued in which George Hanger, leading the British cavalry, was wounded. The small Patriot force, which had not intended more than token resistance, withdrew north toward Salisbury upon the arrival of Cornwallis and the main army.

  • Битва при Шарлотте (англ. Battle of Charlotte) — сражение войны за независимость США, произошедшее в городе Шарлотт (Северная Каролина) 26 сентября 1780 года. Столкновение состоялось у здания окружного суда Мекленберга (в настоящее время на этом месте размещается филиал Bank of America на пересечении Трейд-стрит и Трайон-стрит в центре Шарлотта. Передовой отряд генерала Чарльза Корнуоллиса вошёл в город и встретился с хорошо подготовленным отрядом самообороны под командованием Уильяма Р. Дэви, занявшим позицию перед зданием суда. В завязавшейся стычке был ранен командир британской кавалерии Джордж Хенгер. Отряд американцев не ставил иных задач, кроме как обозначить сопротивление, и с подходом основных сил Корнуоллиса отошёл на север в сторону Солсбери. (ru)
