Kosalu

Kosalu lies in the South Carolina backcountry north of Ninety Six, a colonial settlement at a meeting of roads. During the American Revolution, the British fortified Ninety Six as an inland stronghold. From May to June 1781, Nathanael Greene's Patriot army besieged the Loyalist garrison and its earthen Star Fort for nearly a month. The defenders held the fort, though the siege exhausted their position.
