What fighting method did the Americans use-to keep the British from taking the southern colonies?
Guerrilla warfare. See the biography of Francis Marion, "The Swamp Fox," and that of "Mad Anthony Wayne," two of America's greatest commanders who are unjustly forgotten. The plot of Mel Gibson's "Patriot" is based VERY loosely on Southern guerrilla warfare. As a matter of fact, about half the fighting of the Revolution took place in the South, but the fact that they were not the massed, patterned battles like those in New Jersey or Delaware, or glamorous sieges like Saratoga, has relegated them to the relative obscurity.
