Certainly the center of gravity of the War of Independence was somewhere between Charleston and the Potomac.

General Washington’s most adroit operations nicely fixed in place the British north of the Chesapeake allowing room for Greene’s operations to the south. General Washington was a most formidable man.

The Southerners had a whole country full of young men much of the sort we see in the young General Andrew Jackson. Those blue coated Continental Line at The Cowpens were southern boys.

So were Tarleton’s dragoons.

Not the first time my idiot relatives were shooting at each other, I suppose, and for sure not the last. Let us hope that 1861-65 was.

Cowpens featured again, the great Marylanders. If you want to call them southern, fine, but most people do not these days!

It is my understanding that most of Tarleton's troops were northerners, esp. NYers. Do you have a source to correct me? Thanks...

And Saratoga, Trenton, Princeton, etc. were all north of the Potomac, no?
