Greene requests immediate communication between American forces. On April 25, 1781, Greene was defeated at Camden by Lord Rawdon, but Marion and Lee had captured Fort Watson and cut off his communications with the coast. He was therefore forced to abandon Camden and from that time Greene had the game in his own hands.
