Description
On March 25, 1776, Archibald Bulloch, a Patriot military leader in the Province of Georgia, led a force of several dozen militiamen, alongside about 30 Creek soldiers, conducted a raid on the British-controlled Tybee Island during the American Revolutionary War. The primary goal of the raid was to capture runaway slaves who had fled to the island seeking refuge with the British. The raid resulted in the capture of about a dozen runaway slaves, alongside several white Loyalists and one British marine.
