Excerpt from Archives of Maryland, Vol. 21: Journal and Correspondence of the Council of Maryland; April 1, 1778 October 26, 1779

Fortunately the State had but little trouble within her own borders. There were some small depredations by the British in the lower counties, and some disturbances by Tories in Worcester, Somerset, Queen Anne's and Kent; but these, as well as a mutinous rising in Delaware, threatening the Stores at Charles Town, were easily dealt with. This exemption gave Maryland the opportunity of raising large supplies of bread-stuffs and provisions for the Continental army and for Shipment to the West Indies. Readers of these pages who find so much more space devoted to purchases of flour, pork, bacon, osnaburgs, denims, powder and lead, than to accounts of military operations, should remember that it was in this way, quite as much as in the field, that independence was won.

Clinton, profiting by Howe's example, avoided pitched battles, and undertook, an expedition, under Gen. Prevost and Col. Campbell, to invade the southern States. Savannah fell in December 1778, and all Georgia was Soon reduced. Descents - mere plundering forays - were made on the Bay shores of Virginia, and fears arising that Baltimore would be the next point of attack, measures were taken to put that city in a state of defence. The enemy, however, made no attempt, but returned with their plunder to New York.
