British seige of Charles Town begans (29 marzo 1780 anni – 12 magg 1780 anni)

Descrizione:

The British launched its Southern strategy by beginning a siege of Charles Town, South Carolina on March 28th. The siege lasted until May 9th when British artillery fire was close enough to set the town on fire and force a surrender soon thereafter, on May 12th. A perception continued among the British that the South was full of Loyalists just awaiting the call from the British, who were now here.
