EUTAW SPRINGS, BATTLE OF
EUTAW SPRINGS, BATTLE OF (8 September 1781). General Nathanael Greene, who replaced General Horatio Gates after the crushing defeat at Camden, South Carolina, in August, lost this battle to a superior British force under Colonel Alexander Stewart. Greene was routed and lost a quarter of his 2, 000 Continentals and North and South Carolina militia in the conflict. But he inflicted even heavier casualties on the British, forcing them to retreat to Charleston and preventing Stewart from aiding Lord Cornwallis, then in Virginia. Six weeks later, surrounded by Continental and French forces at Yorktown, Cornwallis surrendered.

Encyclopedia.com gives you the ability to cite reference entries and articles according to common styles from the Modern Language Association (MLA), The Chicago Manual of Style, and the American Psychological Association (APA).
Within the “Cite this article” tool, pick a style to see how all available information looks when formatted according to that style. Then, copy and paste the text into your bibliography or works cited list.
Because each style has its own formatting nuances that evolve over time and not all information is available for every reference entry or article, Encyclopedia.com cannot guarantee each citation it generates. Therefore, it’s best to use Encyclopedia.com citations as a starting point before checking the style against your school or publication’s requirements and the most-recent information available at these sites:
Modern Language Association

- Most online reference entries and articles do not have page numbers. Therefore, that information is unavailable for most Encyclopedia.com content. However, the date of retrieval is often important. Refer to each style’s convention regarding the best way to format page numbers and retrieval dates.
- In addition to the MLA, Chicago, and APA styles, your school, university, publication, or institution may have its own requirements for citations. Therefore, be sure to refer to those guidelines when editing your bibliography or works cited list.
