1. Since many of the battles up North weren't going well, the British decided to strike in the South.

Why did the British believe they would have more success in the South than in the North?

The British believed that there were more loyalists in the South so they wanted to incorporate them into the army so that they would hold the lines for the British. The ports in the South were closer to the British West Indies so if those were captured they could transport supplies a lot quicker than before. They wanted to liberate the slaves so that they would fight for them in the war.
