The Siege of Ninety Six was a significant military engagement during the American Revolutionary War, occurring from May to June 1781. It took place in the town of Ninety Six, South Carolina, which was a strategic location for the British. The siege involved American forces, led by General Nathanael Greene, attempting to capture the British-held fortification. The siege lasted for about 28 days, with American troops surrounding the fort and engaging in skirmishes. Despite their efforts, the Americans were unable to breach the defenses, and the British, commanded by Lieutenant Colonel John Cruger, ultimately held their position. The siege ended when Greene withdrew his forces, marking a tactical stalemate.
