What happens when the revolution's fate shifts to the South? In this episode, War in the South and Yorktown, we follow the brutal campaigns that swept through the Carolinas and Georgia, where guerrilla fighters like Francis Marion, the "Swamp Fox," kept the resistance alive against British advances. But the real climax came at Yorktown in 1781, when American and French forces trapped General Cornwallis, forcing the British to surrender.
