Military leaders: Major General Benjamin Lincoln, Francis Marion, Brigadier General Isaac Huger
Strategy in Battle:The plan for the American troops to just hold up and hope they could outlast the British and if as a last resort flee but this didn't happen due to the threats from the locals which due to it being the south were probably loyalist.
Leadership Effectiveness:due to loyalist efforts in the citizen population the leadership was incredibly ineffective where a surrender and flee made perfect since the leadership caved to the demands of the people to stay and ended up losing valuable troops and supplies that could have been saved.
Use of Resources : The Americans used them as efficiently as they could given the circumstances since they had half the troops and the British were dug in for a siege all they could really do was pester them till the British forced them to flee or won.

The Siege of Charleston although prepared for by the Americans was still a desperate attempt for the patriots. First big disadvantage was they were outnumbered 2 to 1. Second disadvantage was the south at the time was mostly loyalist and the population of the city prevented the troops from fleeing. The siege began with the British forces approaching from the south which was the weaker side of the fort. They then slowly wore down the patriots until they were forced into an unconditional surrender.

Use of Resources: 13,500 - number of British forces, which was more than twice the amount of the American patriot defenders. Included in that number, "the British fleet numbered over 100 ships, including 90 transports and five ships of the line, one fifty gun ship, two forty-four gun ships, four frigates, and two sloops." (According to the National Park Service) The British soldiers used both the surrounding land and bay near Charleston to completely encircle the city.
Strategy in Battle: Having easily captured Savannah, Georgia, the British army was able to land between Savannah and Charleston and placed troops on land to besiege Charleston from the land, the city's weaker side and "tighten its noose" around the Charleston bay area.
Military Leaders Involved: Army - Lieutenant General Sir Henry Clinton / Navy - Admiral Mariot Arbuthnot
Leadership Effectiveness: The leadership under General Clinton was fairly successful. Because there were more loyalists in the southern colonies, General Clinton was able to use their support to liberate Charleston from the patriots, rallying most of the citizens in South Carolina to be loyal to the British.
