The British plans for conquering North and South Carolina in 1776 were a failure. The British initially captured Charleston, South Carolina, but the Americans were able to successfully defend Fort Moultrie, which prevented the British from taking control of the city.

As a result, the British were forced to abandon their plans for conquering the Carolinas.
