The American Revolution: The Southern Theater [2/2]

The Southern Theater: As the war shifted south, Britain's strategy hinges on crushing Patriot resistance through the Carolinas and driving north. This compilation charts the campaigns that unravelled that plan - from the brutal battles of Camden and Kings Mountain, through the tactical masterpiece at Cowpens, the grinding bloodbath at Guilford Court House, and to the French intervention at the Chesapeake - culiminating with the final siege at Yorktown that ended the war. --------------------- These videos are written, created, and narrated by a real person History Rebels: welcome to our series on the American Revolution.
