The British Ministry's Plan to Win the South

The new plan was to win over the south without too much difficulty and then push steadily north until the rebellion was choked out. But as we have seen, running a war from three thousand miles away is really hard. And though rts of strong loyalist sentiment in the south were true, those reports failed to mention that there was also strong patriot sentiment. So as we will see next week, the plan to win the south would prove no less difficult than any other attempts the british made to win the war.
