The Siege of Charleston during the American Revolutionary War, which lasted from April to May 1780, resulted in significant casualties. Approximately 250 American soldiers were killed in action, while around 5,000 troops surrendered to British forces, becoming prisoners of war. The siege also caused civilian suffering, with reports of disease and starvation contributing to additional deaths in the besieged city. Overall, the siege marked a major defeat for the Continental Army and had lasting implications for the Southern campaign of the war.

The American defeat at the Siege of Charleston in 1780 was primarily due to a combination of strategic errors and overwhelming British forces. The American troops, led by General Benjamin Lincoln, were outnumbered and inadequately supplied, while British General Clinton implemented a well-coordinated siege. Additionally, the failure to secure local militia support and the division of American forces weakened their position. Ultimately, the surrender of Charleston resulted in a significant loss of manpower and resources for the Continental Army.
