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.

What strategies did Francis Marion use in the Southern Colonies?
Francis Marion was a patriot in the American Revolutionary War. He had gained military experience in the French & Indian War. His place of warfare was in the southern area of the 13 British colonies in particular his home in South Carolina. As a leading commander against the British, he found that he and his forces were so often out gunned and out numbered in fighting the British. Being so familiar with the swamp lands of the South and lacking a huge army, he resorted to what today would be called guerrilla battle tactics against the armies of King George. His men would ambush British marching armies, strike from unexpected areas and then retreat by blending into the landscape. His forces were always on the move and impossible for the British regulars to fight in their normal European style.
