The Battle of Black Mingo was a skirmish during the American Revolution. It took place in September 1780[nb 1] in the vicinity of Dollard's Tavern at Willtown near Rhems, South Carolina. General Francis Marion attacked and scattered a contingent of Loyalist troops that had been left to secure the region by Colonel Banastre Tarleton after his destructive march through the area. The Loyalists, under Colonel John Coming Ball, were driven into Black Mingo swamp after suffering significant casualties.[1][2][3]
