France (her old hereditary foe) ‘wak alding the revolu- |tlonists with men, shipe and money. French and American warships were | harassing the British coasts and ruining British commerce. All over Eu- Tope, eepecially in England itself, had sprung up a strong feeling that Amer j!oa should be free. King George's Ministry {n pursuing the war worked ¥ jagainst an ever-strengthening opposition. Drastic measures were necessary, jand the Government took them: Parliament voted $100,000,000 and 120,006 | men to end the Revolution. Had this been done in 1775 America’s inde pendence might readily have been crushed. Now it’ was too late. The spirit of freedom was awake and would never again consent to be sliackled. Events were approaching’ their great crisis, Clinton had sent Col. Campbell with 2,000 men to overrun Georgia.

Lincoln, with about 6 Americans, tried to save the city, but was beaten off. Charleston held out, and hot weather checked further active hostilities. Meantime, in the North, a British force, 2,500 strong, under Tryon, had devastated Connecticut, plundering and laying © waste New Haven, Norwalk, East Hayen and Fairfield. Gen, Anthony Wayne, with a small patriot band, retaliated by sto xing the Britisa stronghold of. Stony Point and killing or-capturing abet 600 men. Early in 1780 Clinton, having strengthened n Island ‘and sailed South with 7,000 men, landed just below Charleston (5 10) and laid -- blege to that city. On May 12, after desperate ‘and long resistance, the garrison surrendered. This was a fearful setback to the patriots and | seemed to herald the loss of the whole South. Clinton, thinking he had | conquered the Carolinas, left Gen. Cornwallis tn charge and returned to |New York. Washington sent all the men he could spare, undér wen, Gates, to oppose Cornwallis. Near Sanders Creek the American and English forces met (Aux. 16), and Gates was not only overwhelmingly deaten, but his whole army was dispersed, with a loss of 1,000 me. and all thelr cannon, Gates had come South confident’ of victory and cal self “the con- queror of Burgoyne.” But Benedict Arnold, Burgoyne's real conquero-, was no longer with him, and he paid the penalty of overconfidence.
