A Short History of the United States

CHAPTER 16
9/16

Greene's Later Campaigns .-- At Hobkirk's Hill, near Camden, the British soldiers who had been left behind by Cornwallis attacked Greene.
But he beat them off and began the siege of a fort on the frontier of South Carolina.

The British then marched up from Charleston, and Greene had to fall back.

Then the British marched back to Charleston and abandoned the interior of South Carolina to the Americans.

There was only one more battle in the South--at Eutaw Springs.

Greene was defeated there, too, but the British abandoned the rest of the Carolinas and Georgia with the exception of Savannah and Charleston.
