Focusing on the often-overlooked experiences of Southern brigadier generals during the Revolutionary War, this work highlights the unique challenges they faced. Among the 58 generals serving under George Washington, 13 died from combat wounds or captivity, with seven from less populated Southern colonies. This group experienced higher casualty and imprisonment rates compared to their Northern peers and senior major generals, shedding light on their significant yet underrepresented contributions to the war effort.
