d. British defeated the French and went on to claim For Duquesne

Answer 1

None of the given options are correct. The Battle of Antietam did not take place at Fort Necessity. Instead, the Battle of Antietam (also known as the Battle of Sharpsburg) was a significant battle of the American Civil War that occurred on September 17, 1862, in Maryland. It was the first major Confederate invasion of the North, and although it ended in a draw, it had significant consequences. The Union victory gave President Lincoln the confidence to issue the Emancipation Proclamation, which declared that all slaves in Confederate-held territories were to be freed. This shifted the focus of the war to include the abolition of slavery as a primary goal.
