Native Intervention Most Natives wanted to remain neutral; however, if they joined a side in this conflict, it was normally to help the British as scouts. Why do you think Natives would join the British? Groups supporting the British: Cherokees, Creeks, Choctaws, Chickasaws, and Iroquois

Spanish Aid Opened a war on a new front. British now had to worry about the frontier/land west of the Mississippi River. Sent medicine, cloth, muskets, gunpowder, and cattle to help the Patriots. By 1779, Spanish began to seize British ships along the Mississippi and Gulf Coast.

War in the South Britain wasn’t successful in controlling New England and had limited success in the Middle States, so they shifted their focus to the Southern States. Britain is hoping to attract new soldiers, primarily loyalists from the backcountry. Gen Clinton leads British soldiers (1778-79), captures Savannah, GA, /Charleston, SC, /and Camden, SC Washington: “I have almost ceased to hope…” after hearing about these loses.

John Paul Jones “Father of the U.S. Navy” Attacked a British warship that was protecting merchants ships off the coast of Britain “I have not yet begun to fight!...”

Women during the war Women could care of the homestead when men were away (planting and harvesting crops), continued to raise/educate children. “Hand Betsy the Blacksmith” known for making cannons and guns for the army Women made clothes to send to the front. Betsy Ross sewed flags for Washington’s army Mary Ludwig Hays “Molly Pitcher”, brought water to soldiers during battles.

African Americans during the war Many African Americans fought on the British side. WHY? 9000 African American men fought for the Patriots during the war. In January 1778, General Washington had given his approval to Rhode Island's plan to raise an entire regiment of black slaves. Over the next five years 250 former slave and freedmen served in the 1st Rhode Island Regiment. Massachusetts' all-black unit, the Bucks of America under Samuel Middleton, the only black commissioned officer in the Continental Army, probably also had its origins early in 1778.

Hoping for freedom Hoped the war would bring an end to slavery “All men are created equal (T. Jefferson)” “the colonists are by the law of nature free born, as indeed all men are, white or black (J. Otis)” PA, MA, and NH outlaw slavery.
