The Continentals return fire, and men on both sides fall. Though it isn't reenacted, the armies fell into hand-to-hand combat with bayonets, even using the butts of their muskets and rifles as clubs. "I never saw such fighting since God made me," Lord Conwallis would later write. "The Americans fought like demons."
