Lee's Legion (also known as the 2nd Partisan Corps) was a military unit within the Continental Army during the American Revolution.
It primarily served in the Southern Theater of Operations, and gained a reputation for efficiency, bravery on the battlefield and ruthlessness equal to that of the British Legion.
[1] It included elements of both cavalry and foot, and typically was uniformed with short green woolen jackets and white linen or doeskin pants, somewhat mimicking the British Legion in appearance.
The unit first saw action in September of that year, defeating a Hessian regiment in an ambush.
The Legion saw considerable action at the Battle of Guilford Court House, and the retaking of South Carolina.
