The Battle of Serapis was important, because it was a big part of the American Revolution. Once John Paul Jones won this battle, the British were embarrassed because they were defeated. The British, at the time, had the most powerful navy and were overpowered by soldiers who didn't have nearly that much training. Also, this battle inspired the Americans, because it showed that the British could be defeated and now they just had to defeat them on land to win the Revolutionary War

How is the quote you have not yet begun to fight connected to the Revolutionary War?
In 1779, while in command of the American vessel "Bon Homme Richard", Captain John Paul Jones engaged the British frigate HMS Serapis in the "Battle of Flamborough Head". While maneuvering to grapple the Serapis and board her, the British captain taunted Jones "Will you yield?", the Bon Homme Richard having been severely damaged. Jones replied "I have not yet BEGUN to fight!" After a prolonged battle, the Americans prevailed and the captain of the Serapis surrendered. The American crew was forced to abandon the sinking Bon Homme Richard, and sailed the Serapis to (neutral) Holland for repairs.
