The Brits would not have turned to the South if they didn't feel confident in their control of the North.

Dear Sir: I was trolling the create your own history Web site that you must be so familiar with, and came across this document:

"Hey, guys, I feel pretty confident that we have the North wrapped up. What say we turn south and split the colonies and finish this thing once and for all.

BTW, anyone have any fresh fish and chips?

Signed, Lord Cornwallis, etc. etc.

P.S. Do you think that 'Lord' thing sounds too stuffy?"

WhiskeyPapa, before you take offense, its Christmas Eve and I'm trying to have fun while manning the admin. desk here at work. But think about it, why else would Cornwallis have turned his back on the northern colonies. He certainly wasn't desperate, and Hylton Head Island wasn't what it is today.
