The South was where the British Army met it’s (pardon the pun) Waterloo.Ironically the American southern troops were led by a Yankee name Nathanael Greene and greatly aided by New Jersey General Daniel Morgan. Washington was stalemated by British General Henry Clinton in New York so it took the southern theater to turn the Revolution in the American favor and TURN IT IN OUR FAVOR IT DID !!!

True enough...and although Daniel Morgan was born in NJ, he left at the age of sixteen and adopted Virginia as his home. He’s buried in Winchester (and believe me, as a Garden Stater, I would love to claim him). Greene was a Rhode Islander...and a lapsed Quaker to boot!
I had always heard of Morgan as a Virginian commanding Virginians, but I see now that he moved to the Valley of Virginia when he was a teenager.
“Washington was stalemated by British General Henry Clinton in New York”
Sounds like the wrong spin. Yes, they were both in stalemate, but Clinton was the 1 who was surrounded.
