Summary of John Oller's The Swamp Fox
Please note: This is a companion version & not the original book.
Sample Book Insights:
#1 The South was the key theater of operations in the American Revolution. It was also a society riven by war and rooted in lawlessness, fear, violence, and oppression. The British plan was to occupy and pacify Georgia, and then subdue South Carolina, North Carolina, and Virginia.
#2 The British plan was working in South Carolina. The city fell easily in December 1778, and the British quickly established control over Georgia. Savannah provided Clinton with a base for moving north by land on Charleston, which he had failed to capture in a brief, bungled land-and-sea operation in 1776.
#3 The war in South Carolina was extremely personal, and involved not just a clash of professional armies, but also an insurgency and counterinsurgency that engaged the civilian population.
#4 The American Revolution was not primarily based on political differences, but on private grievances and desires for revenge. It was driven by blood feuds that had been generated between neighbors in the prerevolutionary period.
