Explanation:
A- The capture of Savannah was an episode of the southern theater of the War of independence which took place on December 29, 1778.
The commander in chief of British troops in North America, General Henry Clinton, sent a force of 3,100 men by sea from New York under the orders of Lieutenant Colonel Archibald Campbell to capture Savannah, the city and main port of the Georgia colony, the first step of the campaign to bring the southernmost of the thirteen rebel colonies under the control of the Kingdom of Great Britain; Savannah was defended by a mix of American Continental Army regulars and local militiamen under the orders of Major General Robert Howe.
With the help of local loyalists, Campbell took undisputed ground, circumvented the weak defenses of the Americans and captured most of Howe's army, routing the remains en route to South Carolina; in the following days the British extended their conquests to much of Georgia. The Savannah British garrison then resisted an attempt by the Americans to recapture in 1779, and the city remained in the hands of Britain until the end of hostilities.
B- The Battle of Camden was a battle of War of Independence battle that took place in August 16, 1780 in Camden, South Carolina, between General Charles Cornwallis and General Horatio Gates. The battle ended with the victory of Cornwallis and ended up in history books as one of the most humiliating defeats in US military history.
As a result of the battle, the British gained a foothold in North Carolina and Horatio Gates was dismissed as commander.
C- The Battle of Cowpens was fought on January 17, 1781 during the southern campaign of the American Revolutionary War. It was an overwhelming victory for the revolutionary forces under Brigadier General Daniel Morgan against the British under Banastre Tarleton.
The battle was a turning point in the reconquest of South Carolina and is considered by the Americans to be one of the great tactical masterpieces of the war.
D- The Battle of Yorktown on October 19, 1781 was the decisive victory of the Continental Army and the French Army against the British in the Revolutionary War. It was the last major land battle in the American War of Independence in North America, in which the surrender of Cornwallis and his army forced the British government to begin peace talks.
