After the British defeat at Saratoga in 1777, the focus of the war shifted to the South. This was because the British believed that there were more Loyalists, or people loyal to the British Crown, in the South who would join their cause. The British captured major cities in Georgia and South Carolina, but faced resistance from American militias and guerrilla fighters led by people such as Francis Marion, Nathanael Greene, and Daniel Morgan. The war in the South continued until 1781, when the British surrendered at Yorktown.
