The British strategy in America now concentrated on a campaign in the southern states. It had been a while since I had done that, and it felt dicey - not that she could tell, but it bothered me. The Royal Navy blockaded ports and captured other cities for brief periods, but they failed to destroy Washington's forces. The French secretly supplied the Americans with money, gunpowder, and munitions to weaken Great Britain; the subsidies continued when France entered the war in , and the French government and Paris bankers lent large sums to the American war effort. This book is outstanding. They made New York their main political and military base of operations, holding it until November There was more permissiveness in child-rearing.

  • Assault on Fort Granby May 15, 1781
    Vol. 4 No. 2.1_____________________________________________________ __April – June 2007 Assault on Fort Granby May 15, 1781 Fort Granby was built by the British and Loyalists around the Kershaw and Chesnut c. 1770 trading post on the western bluff overlooking the Congaree River. Located in an area historically called “the Congarees” which hosted two pre-revolutionary forts and trading posts dating back to 1715. German, Swiss and Scot-Irish immigrants established small farms in this area and Granby would later be the leading town for many years. This 1970 oil painting by Alfred Richardson Simson depicts the May 2-15, 1781 siege of the British post by the combined forces of SC militia Gen. Thomas Sumter and Continental Lt. Col. Henry “Light Horse Harry” Lee. A 263-man Loyalist force commanded by Maj. Andrew Maxwell defends the fortified frame house. Maxwell agreed to surrender provided he was allowed to maintain possession of his plunder. The green-jacketed Lt. Col. Lee, depicted to the left, watches his cannon engage the fort from the east side of the Congaree River as Gen. Sumter’s and Col. Thomas Taylor’s troops attack. The painting was photographed by Will Graves and enhanced for publication. Used by permission of The Cayce Historical Museum, 1800 12th Street, Cayce, SC where the original hangs.

Delaware, Aug-Sep During the American War for Independence in August and 1777 September, 1777, the British invaded Delaware as part of an end-run campaign to defeat George Washington and the Americans and capture the capital at Philadelphia.

  • University Microfilms International 300 N
    INFORMATION TO USERS This was produced from a copy of a document sent to us for microfilming. Wliile the most advanced technological means to photograph and reproduce this document have been used, the quality is heavily dependent upon the quality of the material submitted. The following explanation of techniques is provided to help you understand markings or notations which may appear on this reproduction. 1. The sign or “target” for pages apparently lacking from the document photographed is “Missing Page(s)”. If it was possible to obtain the missing page(s) or section, they are spliced into the film along with adjacent pages. This may have necessitated cutting through an image and duplicating adjacent pages to assure you of complete continuity. 2. When an image on the film is obliterated with a round black mark it is an indication that the film inspector noticed either blurred copy because of movement during exposure, or duplicate copy. Unless we meant to delete copyrighted materials that should not have been filmed, you will find a good image of the page in the adjacent frame. 3. When a map, drawing or chart, etc., is part of the material being photo­ graphed the photographer has followed a definite method in “sectioning” the material. It is customary to begin filming at the upper left hand corner of a large sheet and to continue from left to right in equal sections with small overlaps. If necessary, sectioning is continued again—beginning below the first row and continuing on until complete. 4. For any illustrations that cannot be reproduced satisfactorily by xerography, photographic prints can be purchased at additional cost and tipped into your xerographic copy.
