ANOTHER SUCH VICTORY, The Battle
of Guilford Courthouse ~~~ $19.95 vhs ~~~ $19.95 DVD 30 minute live action video. 2001. Middle
school, high school. On March 15, 1781, a costly British victory at Guilford Courthouse changed the course of the American War for Independence. As reports of the battle reached faraway London, a member of Parliament aptly remarked, “...another such victory will ruin the British Army.” This video takes you back to North Carolina in the late winter of 1781 as two armies contest the cause of American independence in the South. At the small hamlet of Guilford Courthouse, the American army of Major General Nathanael Greene is preparing to make a stand against Lord Charles Cornwallis' smaller, but determined British army. The film puts you there—in the line of march and in the midst of action—to hear the sounds of battle and the words of soldiers and civilians, and to share the emotional strain on those whose lives are affected.
