Yet he was still determined to pursue Greene into North Carolina and destroy Greene's army. According to Cornwallis, "The loss of my light troops could only be remedied by the activity of the whole corps." At Ramsour's Mill, Cornwallis burned his baggage train, except the wagons he needed to carry medical supplies, salt, ammunition, and the sick. In the words of <a href="/wiki/Charles_O%27Hara" title="Charles O'Hara">Charles O'Hara</a>, "In this situation, without Baggage, necessaries, or Provisions of any sort...it was resolved to follow Greene's army to the end of the World." </p><p>As Cornwallis departed Ramsour's Mill on 28 January, Greene sought to reunite his command but ordered <a href="/wiki/Edward_Carrington" title="Edward Carrington">Edward Carrington</a> to prepare for possible retreat across the <a href="/wiki/Dan_River" title="Dan River">Dan River</a> into Virginia. In Greene's words, "It is necessary we should take every possible precaution.

Their persevering intrepidity in action, their invincible patience in the hardships and fatigues of a march of above 600 miles, in which they have forded several large rivers and numberless creeks, many of which would be reckoned large rivers in any other country in the world, without tents or covering against the climate, and often without provisions, will sufficiently manifest their ardent zeal for the honour and interests of their Sovereign and their country." </p><p>After the battle, the British occupied a large expanse of woodland that offered no food and shelter, and the night brought torrential rains. Fifty of the wounded died before sunrise.

General <a href="/wiki/Henry_Clinton_(American_War_of_Independence)" class="mw-redirect" title="Henry Clinton (American War of Independence)">Clinton</a> sharply criticized the decision as unmilitary and as having been made contrary to his instructions.

For three months, Cornwallis raided every farm or plantation he came across, from which he took hundreds of horses for his dragoons. He converted another 700 infantry to mounted troops. During these raids, he freed thousands of slaves, of whom 12,000 joined his own force. </p><p>General Greene boldly pushed toward <a href="/wiki/Camden,_South_Carolina" title="Camden, South Carolina">Camden</a> and <a href="/wiki/Charleston,_South_Carolina" title="Charleston, South Carolina">Charleston, South Carolina</a> with a view to drawing Cornwallis to the points where he was the year before, as well as driving back <a href="/wiki/Francis_Rawdon-Hastings,_1st_Marquess_of_Hastings" title="Francis Rawdon-Hastings, 1st Marquess of Hastings">Lord Rawdon</a>, whom Cornwallis had left in that field.
