Which of the following statements is true about the battles of the American Revolution that took place in North and South Carolina?

The majority of the fighting in the Carolinas took place during the Southern Campaign of 1780 and 1781.

Although many soldiers from North and South Carolina joined the Continental Army, no battles were actually fought in the Carolinas.

Several key battles were fought in the Carolinas at the beginning of the war, but after 1778 all of the battles were fought in the Northern colonies.

Several battles were fought in the Carolinas even after the British surrendered because colonists in the area did not know that the war was over.

One of the major disasters of the Southern Campaign was the Battle of Camden. American forces were unprepared and were overwhelmed by the British Army. However, the battle did have one positive outcome. What was it?

After the defeat, George Washington decided to put a new leader in charge of the Southern Campaign. He chose Nathanael Greene, who proved to be a great leader.

During the battle, American forces captured a British officer who knew that the Royal Army had plans to invade Yorktown.

Despite the victory, the British suffered so much during the battle that the Royal Army was never able to fully recover for the rest of the war.

Prior to the battle, few people in South Carolina supported the war. The defeat was a "wake-up" call and motivated citizens to join the Continental Army.

Very early in the American Revolution, South Carolinians were able to gain a major victory over the British Army at Sullivan's Island. Aside from being a major morale boost for the Americans, why was this battle so important?

It motivated the people of South Carolina to rally behind the cause. Prior to the battle, the vast majority of South Carolinians supported the British.

It prevented the British from capturing Charleston, the most important city south of Philadelphia. If they had captured it, the Americans would have certainly lost the war.

It gave George Washington time to form a standing army. If the British had taken Fort Sullivan, they would have marched across the continent with no opposition.

It convinced the British not to invade South Carolina, and the important city of Charleston was safe for the rest of the war.

The flag of South Carolina features the silhouette of a palmetto tree. The palmetto tree became famous in South Carolina when British cannon balls bounced safely off of its soft wood during this battle:

The Battle of Sullivan's Island

After the Battle of Saratoga, the

French entered the war as our allies

Germans entered the war as our allies

Spanish entered the war as our allies

Canadians entered the war as our allies

During the American Revolution, the British believed that they would succeed by invading the South because:

They were depending on the Loyalists in the South.

They expected the Spanish to assist them.

The colonists in the South had no experience with shooting guns or traveling in rough terrain.

George Washington did not care about protecting the South.

On June 15, 1775, the Continental Congress formed the Continental Army and named George Washington the commander-in-chief. As a Virginian, Washington helped unite both the northern or southern colonies in the war. He was also chosen because:

He was a man of dignified character and had more experience than other American soldiers.

He was extremely radical and aggressive, which was the only way to fight the British.

He had a history of clashing with the British and a personal hatred for the King of England.

He didn't believe in an organized army, and decided to use primarily militia troops to fight the British.

As the American Revolution was being fought, the Cherokee Indians reacted in which of the following ways?

They raided settlements along the frontier. They became so violent that a number of Southern states had to fight back and nearly destroy the Cherokee nation.

They declared "official neutrality" with hopes of being on peaceful terms with the winner of the war.

They joined the American colonists and traveled throughout America fighting the Royal Army.

They fought against British soldiers in South Carolina, but refused to leave their home territory to fight in other parts of the colony.
