Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The mighty British army conquered the Southern colonies step by step. Important Southern towns fell to superior British military precision, destroying two Southern Continental armies in the process. But Southerners were not subdued. Amid government and military chaos, partisans, guerrillas, militia and volunteers rose like the Phoenix and helped win the Revolution. This fast-paced story describes the determination of both adversaries as they attempted to win the war in the South. From Savannah to Guilford Courthouse to Yorktown armies maneuvered under masterly leaders such as General Nathanael Greene, General George Washington, and General Lord Charles Cornwallis. Due to a change in American thought, a simmering civil war, and British mismanagement, most of the civilian population quickly sided with the rebels. Thus, the destiny of American independence rode on the shoulders of these individualist back-country citizen soldiers.
