Ch.7, Sec.3 – The Path to Victory Savannah and Charles Town Savannah and Charles Town - by 1778, the British moved the war South because they couldn’t control Northern cities due to a lack of troops - they also moved their resources to the South because of its proximity to their colonies in the West Indies - in December of 1778, England captured Savannah, Georgia and conquered most of the colony thereafter - by 1780, British General Henry Clinton captured the city of Charles Town, while capturing 5,000 Americans – this was the worst loss during the American Revolution for the Continentals!
