Nathanael Greene's Southern Campaign showed remarkable strategic…
November 1783 CE
He excelled in dividing, eluding, and tiring his opponent by long marches, and in actual conflict forcing the British to pay heavily for a temporary advantage, a price that they could not afford.
However, he had been defeated in every pitched battle which he fought against the British during his time as southern commander.
He has been greatly assisted by able subordinates, including Polish engineer Tadeusz Kościuszko, brilliant cavalry officers Henry ("Light-Horse Harry") Lee and William Washington, and partisan leaders Thomas Sumter, Andrew Pickens, Elijah Clarke, and Francis Marion.
In the end, Greene and his forces have liberated the southern states from British control.
When the Treaty of Paris ends the war, British forces control a couple of southern coastal cities, but Greene controls the rest.
