Gates's hastily-assembled new southern army fell apart at the Battle of Camden, which took place on August 16, 1780. The American forces, under General Horatio Gates, faced a decisive defeat against the British troops led by General Cornwallis. The lack of proper training, poor leadership, and the overwhelming strength of the British forces contributed to the collapse of Gates's army. This defeat severely weakened the American position in the South during the Revolutionary War.
