The Battle of Kings Mountain was important because it was a victory for the Patriot cause. The forces loyal to the king were mostly American, fighting American forces looking for independence. The Loyalist forces suffered over 300 casualties (dead and wounded) and almost 700 captured. American forces had under 90 casualties (dead and wounded).
The Battle of Kings Mountain was fought to stop the advancement of the British troops to take North Carolina. The Colonists won this battle but had to quickly flee for fear of the larger contingent of British forces.
The cause of the Battle of Kings Mountain was Robert Ferguson's loyalist group threatening residents of Kings Mountain. He was trying to acquire loyalists and said that people who did swear their allegiance to the king would be killed. The mountain people responded by killing Ferguson and several of his loyalists.
