Archeologov\u00e9 z organizace South Carolina Battlefield Preservation Trust (SCBPT) odkryli boji\u0161t\u011b, na kter\u00e9m p\u0159i\u0161el v roce 1782 o \u017eivot d\u016fstojn\u00edk americk\u00e9 v\u00e1lky za nez\u00e1vislost John Laurens. M\u00edsto, kter\u00e9 je nyn\u00ed sou\u010d\u00e1st\u00ed soukrom\u00e9 honitby na k\u0159epelky, bylo lokalizov\u00e1no kombinac\u00ed historick\u00fdch d\u016fkaz\u016f a modern\u00ed technologie.<\/p>\n\n
K nalezen\u00ed boji\u0161t\u011b na b\u0159ez\u00edch \u0159eky Combahee vedl t\u00fdm ru\u010dn\u011b kreslen\u00e1 mapa od britsk\u00e9ho d\u016fstojn\u00edka, laserov\u00e9 skeny ter\u00e9nu a detektory kov\u016f. Artefakty jako mu\u0161ketn\u00ed koule, bajonet a kart\u00e1\u010dov\u00e1 st\u0159ela z houfnice jim pomohly rekonstruovat bitvu a ur\u010dit m\u00edsto, kde Laurens padl.<\/p>\n\n
Laurens se narodil v roce 1754 do z\u00e1mo\u017en\u00e9 rodiny obchodn\u00edk\u016f s otroky a z\u00edskal vzd\u011bl\u00e1n\u00ed v Evrop\u011b, ne\u017e se v roce 1777 p\u0159ipojil k \u201evojensk\u00e9 rodin\u011b\u201c George Washingtona jako jeho pobo\u010dn\u00edk. Navzdory sv\u00e9 bezohledn\u00e9 state\u010dnosti se sp\u0159\u00e1telil s mark\u00fdzem de Lafayette a Alexanderem Hamiltonem.<\/p>\n\n
V bitv\u011b u Tar Bluff m\u011bl b\u00fdt Laurens upout\u00e1n na l\u016f\u017eko kv\u016fli mal\u00e1rii. Kdy\u017e se v\u0161ak dozv\u011bd\u011bl o nadch\u00e1zej\u00edc\u00ed poty\u010dce, opustil sv\u00e9 nemocni\u010dn\u00ed l\u016f\u017eko, aby bojoval. Navzdory sv\u00e9mu oslaben\u00e9mu stavu vedl 50 mu\u017e\u016f k zaji\u0161t\u011bn\u00ed \u0159eky Combahee.<\/p>\n\n
Zat\u00edmco Laurensovi voj\u00e1ci p\u0159ipravovali sv\u00e9 houfnicov\u00e9 d\u011blost\u0159electvo, Britov\u00e9 je objevili a v pr\u016fb\u011bhu noci p\u0159ipravili p\u0159epaden\u00ed. R\u00e1no, kdy\u017e se Laurens a dal\u0161\u00ed voj\u00e1k pokusili rozm\u00edstit houfnici, Britov\u00e9 za\u00fato\u010dili. Laurens byl v n\u00e1sledn\u00e9 bitv\u011b zabit a houfnice byla uko\u0159ist\u011bna.<\/p>\n\n
Boji\u0161t\u011b Tar Bluff bude zachov\u00e1no v r\u00e1mci South Carolina Liberty Trail, co\u017e je trasa pro motorov\u00e1 vozidla, kter\u00e1 p\u0159edstavuje boji\u0161t\u011b z v\u00e1lky za nez\u00e1vislost v tomto st\u00e1t\u011b. Trasa rovn\u011b\u017e zahrnuje cestu, kterou Laurens podnikl k Tar Bluff, zn\u00e1mou jako \u201eLaurens’ Run\u201c.<\/p>\n\n
Laurensova podpora osvobozen\u00ed, tj. propu\u0161t\u011bn\u00ed zotro\u010den\u00fdch lid\u00ed, z n\u011bj u\u010dinila otev\u0159en\u00e9ho abolicionistu v Ji\u017en\u00ed Karol\u00edn\u011b.
