This is a history of the British campaign (1780-1781) to recapture the Carolinas during the American Revolutionary War up to Lord Cornwallis's victory at Guilford Courthouse - a bloody campaign and a hollow victory that left the British forces in ruin and paved the way for General Nathanael Greene to win the Carolinas for the Americans. The book brings to life the participants and events of a campaign in the war in the South. It explores the critical backwoods fights that kept the revolution alive and discusses the severe social and political tensions between Low Country and Back Country that had an impact on the extent and nature of the war.
