Question

Which of the following are reasons that the British may have decided Savannah was a good target for them to recapture (select two)? (2 points)

Answer 1

To accurately answer your question, I would need the specific options you’re referring to regarding why the British may have decided to recapture Savannah. However, I can provide some historical context on Savannah's significance during the American Revolutionary War.

1. **Strategic Location**: Savannah was a key port city in the southern colonies, making it important for trade and military logistics. Recapturing Savannah would allow the British to control supply lines and communication in the South.

2. **Support for Loyalists**: There was a notable Loyalist population in Georgia, and recapturing Savannah could help bolster British support among loyalist colonists and potentially rally more supporters to the British cause in the southern colonies.

If you can provide the specific options you have, I can help you identify the two that align with historical reasoning!
