When did the revolutionary war begin to turn into colonial victory?

The American Revolutionary War turned on Kings Mountain, South Carolina on October 7, 1780 when 900 militia from North Carolina and the Virginia backwoods, inflamed by British oppression pursued and cornered Major Patrick Ferguson and 1,100 loyalists. The Patriots cut Ferguson's forces to pieces, killing 225, wounding 163 and taking more than 700 prisoners. The Americans lost only 28 with 63 wounded. With his auxiliary force destroyed, Lord Cornwallis was forced to retreat and resume a defensive strategy. This victory occurred at the bleakest time for the Patriots and turned sentiment around. Patriots started to think that if we could win here, we could win in other places. This was the turning point in the American Revolutionary War. Saratoga is often cited as the turning point because it convinced Louis XVI to send troops and supplies, and to finance the American Revolution.
