The Southern campaign is highly significant since it represents the conclusive military strategy of the Revolution and sets the tone that will follow this tremendous military upheaval. The war in the Southern Colonies was also distinctive from other military theatres of operation because of its characteristically bloody, brutal partisan (guerilla) warfare nature. A multidimensional approach -- with the consideration of military, political, and social aspects -- will be taken to examine and analyze the important historical episodes during this period. Classes will chronologically and thematically move through treatments of antecedents to colonial controversy with Britain, relations between the American Southern colonies and Britain, strategy followed by both sides of the conflict in the South, armed hostilities between American and British military forces in the Southern theatre, and conclude with the aftermath of the American rebellion in the Southern colonies. Thus, this course of study focuses on the development of a distinct American military, political, and cultural heritage during its origins. An understanding of this critical terminal stage of our nations struggle for independence is indispensable to a full appreciation of the American Revolution that allowed America's rise to power and greatness in our own century. |
