In 1775 Campbell helped to raise the second battalion of the 71st Regiment of (Highland) Foot (Fraser's) for service in North America. He sailed with the regiment to Boston the following year, but, by the time they arrived, the city was in American hands. The unfortunate Campbell was immediately captured and imprisoned in conditions that even George Washington described as ‘shocking to humanity’. Freed in 1778 in an exchange of prisoners, Campbell, now a brigadier-general, proved his skills as a shrewd tactician and bold leader. He led the force that captured Savannah, Georgia, and secured the frontier with South Carolina. Campbell was appointed Governor of Jamaica in 1781 and commissioned major-general the following year. In 1785 he was appointed Governor and Commander-in-Chief, Madras (Chennai).
