During the American Revolution, the British "southern strategy" was devised as an alternative to their failed campaigns in central and northern America during the wars first three years. From 1778-1781, the British focused their efforts on occupying the more loyalist-tending southern American colonies and doing damage to the patriot cause from their. This strategy failed, with its dramatic conclusion coming at Yorktown in 1781 with a decisive patriot victory.
During the American Revolutionary War, the American South became the main battleground of the war in 1778 because of a change in British strategy. After failures in their northern campaigns, the British decided to take control of the more loyalist, and less heavily defended, American colonies in the South, as a supposedly sure step towards taking over all of the colonies once again.
