This volume continues the best and most detailed study of the
Revolutionary War in the South. In more than 1,000 documents, it
traces the British evacuation of Georgia as well as General
Nathanael Greene's ongoing efforts to force a British withdrawal
from South Carolina. Despite evidence that the British were
planning to pull out of the lower South, Greene twice turned down
British proposals for an end to hostilities in the region, and the
fighting and killing continued. Mistrusting his enemy's motives,
Greene reasoned that only a militarily strong and politically
unified America could convince Britain to abandon entirely its
campaign to subdue the new nation. Greene's efforts to bolster his
forces were thwarted, however, by an increasing war-weariness among
the American people, a lack of supplies, and an outbreak of
malaria. Despite these problems, Greene and his army enjoyed some
success with the British withdrawal from Savannah and a decrease in
the threat posed by Indians on the southern frontier.
