	A History | The Winning of Independence 1777-1783 The Winning of Independence 1777-1783 The Campaign of 1777 Winning Independence at Valley Forge First Fruits of the French Alliance The New Conditions of the War British Successes in the South Nadir of the American Cause         Continental Currency Greene's Southern Campaign Yorktown: The Final Act Surrender of Cornwallis to General George Washington The Summing Up: Reasons, Lessons and Meaning The year 1777 was most critical for the British. The issue, very plainly, was whether they could score such success in putting down the American revolt that the French would not dare enter the war openly to aid the American rebels. Yet it was in this critical year that British plans were most confused and British operations most disjointed. The British campaign of 1777 provides one of the most striking object lessons in military history of the dangers of divided command.
