What were the southern states known as during the american revolution?

The Southern theatre of the American Revolutionary War was the central area of operations in North America in the second half of the American Revolutionary War. During the first three years of the conflict, the largest military encounters were in the north, focused on campaigns around the cities of Boston, New York, and Philadelphia. After the failure of the Saratoga campaign, the Britishlargely abandoned operations in the Middle Colonies and pursued peace through subjugation in the Southern Colonies.[1]
