_{The kickoff to our 2025-2026 Annual Lecture Series}

Following the Franco-American alliance of 1778, the outstretched British forces in North America embarked on a southern campaign to muster Loyalist support and attempt to finally subdue the American rebellion. This new strategy shifted the central theater of operations to the southern states. With a divided population and challenging physical landscapes, the fighting that occurred in the South resulted in some of the fiercest battles of the war. Weaving throughout the stories of heroic men and women and the battles in which they fought, historian Alan Pell Crawford discusses his new book on the significance of the American Revolution in the South.
