British forces launch a full assault on Fort Sullivan, South Carolina.
The position does not fall as quickly as they would have pleased; British cannon fire bounces off the Patriot Fort, which is constructed of palmetto logs.
The British bullets cut down the militia flag, and young Patriot Sergeant William Jasper races to the pole and raises it under withering fire.
Meanwhile, American fire does substantial damage to Royal Navy ships.
Although 2,200 British troops and nine ships attacked a fort with only 400 militia inside, just 12 Patriots are killed for the loss of 91 British and severe damage to their ships.
They do not take the Fort and they are compelled to retreat.
Ceasefire's barely 24 hours old, and Israel (our greatest ally) is already blowing it up, literally. Largest coordinated strike on Lebanon since the war began.
But sure, another masterclass in negotiation from the guy who threatened to wipe out an entire civilization the day before.
Stable genius stuff.
@rtrjohnny Me and my buddy were hammered at a Downtown Detroit casino until 5am. Phones died and lost all our money. Walked back 10 miles through the trenches
