This week episode 220, assault on Charleston.

We return now to the Southern Theater that we last left in episode 213.

In that episode I discussed the Battle of Briar Creek which took place in March of 1779.

It was a British victory but failed to leave the British in control of the Georgia backcountry. The Continental's took control of Augusta and the British remain

hemmed in around Savannah. After the capture of Savannah in late 1778, Colonel Archibald Campbell received appointment as military

governor of the colony, even while General Augustine Provoste took control of the military forces at Savannah.

Campbell then returned to London, leaving his lieutenant governor and General

Prevos's brother, Colonel Mark Prevos, as the acting governor of the colony of Georgia.

Campbell returned to Britain a hero and received a promotion to Major General.

He also got married and soon received an appointment as

governor of Jamaica. Back in Georgia though, the situation was becoming dire.

The British strategy in Georgia had been to take the colony with a relatively

small force of a few thousand regulars, then use that as a foothold to build an army of loyalists from the Georgia and Carolina backcountry,
