The battle of Kettle Creek in Wilkes County, Georgia on February 14, 1779 served to diffuse the Loyalist forces in the upcountry of Georgia, North Carolina and South Carolina. Had the 600 plus troops under command of Colonel Boyd been able to unite with the forces under Daniel McGirth, who was encamped with several hundred troops a few miles away, they would have presented a formidable army. These troops were aimed at uniting with Lieutenant Colonel Archibald Campbell at Augusta, Georgia. Campbell was rallying the Loyalists in the South to come to the aid of King George III. Campbell was dissappointed with the results of this effort and he returned down river. The British expectations for support in the Upcountry fizzled and the war in the South took a different tact, thus prolonging the war in this arena.
The creek war started in 1813 and ended in 1814.
