Answer:
The fighting in the South was different during the third stage of the Revolutionary war because. "It was a mixture of bloody civil war between civilians, use of guerilla forces for hit-and-run attacks, and battles with standing armies"
Explanation:
In the third stage of the Revolutionary War (1778-1781) the British at first had some important victories. This includes overtaking Savannah, GA and Charleston, SC, and another victory at Camden, SC. But the British were also facing pressure due to antagonisms with the French in other regions as well like the Caribbean. So, the British wanted to rely on loyalists living in the Southern states instead of sending large standing armies. This weakened their position because the loyalists there were not generally proactive loyalists, it was more like they were neutral or sitting out from the war. The patriots were better at the guerilla-type of warfare because they could more easily hide within the population.
