Step-by-step explanation:

Kings mountain was present in what today is called the Cherokee country. it is described as the world' largest all american fight. Patriots won the fight. Ferguson came to North Carolina in order to recruit loyalists militia but when he encountered the patriots he issued a challenge saying the patriots to face the attack and bear the consequences. Patriots were annoyed and headed by Benjamin Cleveland planned an attack.
