During the American Revolutionary War, a major reason for Britain's shift-of-focus to the southern colonies in the latter half of the war was the lack of success of their northern strategy.

southern colonies
The British moved the fight to the southern colonies during the American Revolutionary War for several strategic reasons. They believed that the southern colonies had a larger loyalist population that would support British rule, potentially providing manpower and resources. Additionally, the South was economically vital due to its agriculture, particularly cash crops like tobacco and cotton, which the British aimed to control. This shift also aimed to cut off the colonies' supply lines and disrupt the Continental Army's support.
