Position 1: Jim Piecuch â No Massacre. The story of how Lieutenant Colonel Banastre Tarletonâs British Legion massacred American soldiers as they tried to surrender or after they had been taken prisoner at the Waxhaws, South Carolina, on May 29, 1780, has become a standard part of the history of the American Revolution. However, the Waxhaws âMassacreâ never happened. The massacre story is based on two âfirsthandâ accounts. Three decades after the battle, Henry Bowyer, an aide to American commander Colonel Abraham Buford, described a bloody slaughter; he also claimed to have been ordered by Buford to carry a surrender flag to Tarleton.
