Southern Campaigns

The Southern Campaigns of the American Revolutionary War were military efforts by the American colonists to gain independence from British rule in the southern colonies, like Georgia, South Carolina, and North Carolina. These campaigns involved battles, skirmishes, and strategic moves across the region from 1778 to 1781. The colonists used guerrilla tactics, mobilized local militia, and sought support from allies like France. Key figures included generals Nathanael Greene and Francis Marion. The campaigns aimed to weaken British control, rally regional support, and ultimately secure victory for the American cause.
