The patriot militia including the over mountain men silently enveloped their forces to surround the loyalist militia at King's Mountain. Then the patriots attacked by surprise. The patriots charged up the hill by surprise while also firing their weapons from behind trees and stones. The loyalists were completely taken by surprise. They had very little defense including poorly built barricades because their leader Patrick Ferguson didn't think it was necessary to prepare for a possible patriot ambush. During the battle, the loyalists would make a bayonet charge down hill at the patriots. Since the patriots had no bayonets of their own, they would retreat down hill and melt back into the forests avoiding costly hand to hand combat. This happened three times. The patriot militia refused to go into hand to hand combat and would feign retreat every time the loyalists made bayonet charges. Then after the loyalists tire themselves out with the bayonet charge and full back to their camp, the patriots would regroup and attack the hill again. It was difficult for the loyalists to find a target to shoot at because the patriots constantly used cover and concealment with trees and rocks. Plus, the down hill angle of the hill caused the loyalists to over shoot and miss their targets a lot of the times. After the battle of King's mountain, the loyalists surrendered and the patriots claimed victory. The loyalist casualties were 290 killed, 163 wounded, and 668 captured. The patriot casualties were 29 killed and 58 wounded. The patriots were able to utilize guerrilla tactics by attacking by surprise, feigning retreats from costly hand to hand combat, and using cover and concealment within the environment while sniping loyalists who were poorly protected by their incomplete barricades. With such guerrilla tactics and warfare, the patriot conflicted way more casualties on the loyalists and were able to claim victory. Guerrilla warfare was one of the most important factors that helped the patriots claim victory at the battle of king's mountain.

Loyalists were usually rich colonists and patriots were usually poorer colonists so they didn't treat each other fairly. Loyalists looked down upon Patriots as if they were happy with the king and Patriots needed freedom to get rid of all the British taxes. This caused a problem in the American Revolution because not all Americans were on the same side.
