The British felt that they could recruit Loyalist sympathizers to their cause by campaigning in the South. They hoped to form Loyalist militias and were successful in a small way. the Battle of Kings Mountain included Loyalist units on the British side. Washington recognized the danger and the opportunity. He sent one of his most capable lieutenants, Nathanael Greene, to take on Cornwallis, eventually leading to Yorktown.

Because there were way more loyalists there than in the North, and the British generals hoped they would join or help them.
