A BRITISH O~ERLY BOOK, 1780.1781

Edited by A. R. N EWSOllE

.INTRODUCTION

Disappointed by failure in the North and attracted by reports of

1'tIlJt.hcrn loyalism, the British shifted the war for the SUbjugation

uf the American colonies to the South late in 1778. Savannah 'filS

I'aphlrcd in December, and the interior of Georgia occupied. ..~year

Intel' Sir Henry Clinton, commander of the British forees in America,

l\:dlc~dfrom New York with a strong fleet and Brmy and forced the

surrender of Charleston in May, 1780. Interior South Carolina was

of his southern commander to send aid. He ordered Major-General

.o\)cxander Leslie with about 2,500 troops, consisting of the Guards,

Maclean's 82nd, one German battalion, and two provincial corps, to

embark for Chesapeake Bay to make a diversion in favor of Oorn-

wallis, who by the time of Leslie's arrival, should be "acting in the

back parts of North Carolina." Th e instruetions to Leslie were

clastic and subject to the approval of Oomwallis , but euggested that

it was "best to proceed up J amcs River as high as possible, in order

to destroy any magazines the enemy may have at Petersburg, Rich·

mend, or Rny of the places adjacent; and finally, to establish a post

on Elizabeth River."3 Leslie sailed from New York on October 15

and arrived off the capes of Virginia on October 19 with instructions

to place himself under the orders of Cornwallis and, if Cornwallis

had penetrated for into No rtb Carolinn, to form a junction with him

from Petersburg. 4 Learning from Williamsburg newspapers of

Ferguson'a defeat at King's }.{ountain, Leslie determined to await

certain intelligence of the situation of Cornwallis. He fortified

Portsmouth, secured the posts of Great Bridge and Northwest Land-

ing, and stationed a body of troops near Suffolk. On November 9

he received a letter from Lord Rawdon, written for Cornwallis on

October 24 from the camp west of the Catawba in South Carolina,

actting forth that the tranquillity of South Carolina UpODwhich the

Chesapeake dh'ersion was predicated was illusory and begging him,

if hi, instructions permitted, to proceed to the Cape Fear River,

where his cooperation would be more effectual. II Cornwallis, em -

barrassed bv threatened communications and the enforced retreat

from N ortb Carolina, planned to join Leslie at Cross Creek. ''1can only say that Imost impatiently long for the day of meeting

,with you.'"

-, With Clinton's approval but with disappointment at quitting Vir-

ginia, Leslie embarked his whole force on November 15 and fell

down to Hampton Roads where heavy winds delayed the depa~

for the Cape Fear until the 22nd. T Meanwhile Cornwallia, having

decided that the cOOperution of Leslie even at the distance of the

Cnpo Fear would be attended with difficulties, sent cruisers to meet

him and bring him to Charleston,S On board the Romul""ofi Cape

Hnttcrns on No\'embcr 2;, Leslie learned from Q letter of the com-

rnundant of Charleston, delivered b. . . the Of/Ta(ra., thnt Curnwnllis

swiftly-mo\'ing'Morgant aided by .wollen . t r e a m a , to escape. Em-

barraased and mortified, Cornwallis destroyed his heavy baggage at

Ramsour's Mill and set out to overtake and destroy Morgan. Greene

ordered his army northward and rode acr088 country to join Morgants

army in front of Cornwallis. Then followed the historic American

retreat and British pursuit acr08l the red hills of piedmont North ;Carolina in mid-winter. Greene outwitted Cornwallis, reunited his' :

forces at Guilford Court HOUle and ercesed the nan River just in

advance of his pursuers, Cornwallis feU back to Hillsboro and

raiaed the royal standard. Reinforced until his army outnumbered

that of his enemy, Greene recrossed the Dan on February 23; and

Cornwallis moved westward, eager for Il decisive engagement. On

March 1 5 occurred the obstinate and bloody conflict at Guilford

Court Houae-a brilliant feat of arms but not a vietory for the

British, who received no soli4 advllntage to compensate for their

beavy loaees. Destitute of pron8ioDl and too weak to take the oHen-sive agaiDBt Greene, Cornwallis retreated to Wilmington. Greene

soon gave up the pUJ'lUit and led his army into South Carolina.

Ignoring Clinton' . instruction not to imperil Charleston, forgetful of: I

his promise to return to the loyalists at C r o s s Creek, and professing :

DO prospect of being able to relieve Rawdon in South Carolina, he i

marched northward to Virginia. O n October 19 he surrendered at

Yorktown.11
