The Revolutionary War in the South

Popular knowledge of the American Revolution typically consists of the early events/battles occurring in the New England Colonies. While these events are important in the American Revolution, many significant events also occurred in the southern colonies. While the conflict in the northern colonies drew to a stalemate, Britain turned its attention to the southern colonies. The sequence of events that occurred in the south would eventually lead to the American victory and Independence. An overview of the war in the south is presented along with the sequence of events that led to the surrender of the British Army at Yorktown.
