Battles Of the South | The White House Founders Museum | PragerU

“We held the field—and lost the South.” Told through British General Charles Cornwallis’s eyes, this episode follows the relentless pursuit from Charleston to Guilford Courthouse—and how winning a battle helped lose a war.

Cornwallis believes Britain’s Southern Strategy is working—until Cowpens cripples his light troops and Greene turns rivers into allies. Four weeks of hard chasing, baggage burned at Ramsour’s Mill, a flooded crossing at Cowan’s Ford, and then Guilford Courthouse: a tactical win with losses the British couldn’t replace. The result? Momentum slips, strategy cracks, and the road curves toward Yorktown.
