I was doing research on my paternal ancestors in Georgia around 1994. One type of record which was well preserved was Revolutionary War Veterans requests for pensions. They were required to provide such info as one would expect.

One thing was what battles campaigns etc. they participated in. I noticed a really large number had listed “The Florida Campaign” as if everyone knew what that was. I have never heard of it in the history books but it must have been fairly well known back then.

Many books on the American Revolution don’t even mention the fighting in Florida and Louisiana. And how many Americans know that the final battle of the war was fought at Cuddalore, India in 1783?
