Why did the British switch to the southern strategy? Why did it fall?
What will be an ideal response?
Ans: The British switched to the southern strategy, because the colonies had more valuable goods, like crops and a large slave population. Georgia and the Carolinas seemed to have a lot of loyalists that were okay with the British control, but the Continental Army deployed troops there. The plan fell, because the strategy depended on sufficient loyalist strength to hold reconquered territory as Cornwallis's army moved north; this was false. The Continental army harassed the British and made it impossible for them to forage for food, ended up being stretched too thin; couldn't even control 2 colonies.
