Power is the ability to influence the behavior of people in a particular way. It is essential to understand the concept of power to understand government as essentially what governments do is try to manage their population, to act or behave in ways which fit their own direction, aims, belief systems or structure so that the population doesn't get out of their control. When a government acts with power, they maintain calm over their people and can control them.

Why did the British want to conquer the Southern Colonies? What advantage did the British have in South Carolina?
ehidna [41]

Answer:

The British southern strategy was to move the military theater to the southern colonies where there were more Loyalist colonists. Slaves and Indian allies, the British hoped, would also swell their ranks. This strategy worked at first, allowing the British to take Charleston. Much of the South Carolina low country was too swampy for traditional English agriculture. To find a staple crop that would make the colony a secure contributor to the British Empire, settlers needed to adapt to their new environment.
