Jamieson, and Washington joined others in escaping via the river. Tarleton lost 2 men and 4 horses. In Tarleton's words, "being totally surprised, resistance and slaughter soon ceased...All the horses, arms, and accoutrements of the Americans were captured. Colonels White, Washington, and Jamieson, with some officers and men, availed themselves of their swimming, to take their escape, while many who wished to follow their example perished in the river." Aftermath Cornwallis claimed that this action "totalled demolished their Cavalry". The battle showed that the British had control over the northern escape routes from the city of Charleston. Lincoln surrendered the city and his army, more than 5,000 men, on May 12.
