The Battle of Savanah, Georgia

After having won almost all the battles the British were still desperate of watching the colonists fight with all they had. They still didn't understand how after all their losses, they still had hope of becoming an independent nation. So the British took a major decision, they headed South. They expected the loyalist support in the southern staes such as: Georgia, South Carolina, Alabama, and North Carolina. Their goal was to gain control of the ports in major souhtern cities. On December 1778, the British took Georgia with no trouble. The resistance from the militia and Continental army wasn't useful. A year later, already supported by the French in the Franco-American Alliance, the colonists took Savannah back. Both of the battles are properly called, "The Siege of Savanah."
