The Southern Campaigns Module
A curriculum module for use in middle and high school classrooms.

The determination of the Americans through the Southern Campaigns secured independence for the new nation by culminating at the surrender of a British Army at Yorktown, Virginia in 1781 and the Treaty of Paris in 1783.
