The British defeat at the Battle of Cowpens is an example of a typical envelopement. A British force under Colonel Tarleton was outmaneuvered by a simlarly sized rebel force under Colonel Morgan. This paper looks at the British perspective of the battle and shows the blunders made that would eventually lead to their defeat.
