The two correct reasons that the British may have decided Savannah was a good target for them to recapture are:

1. **They wanted to control the port to eliminate Patriot access to trade** - Controlling Savannah would give the British a strategic advantage in terms of trade and logistics in the southern colonies.

2. **Loyalist support was stronger in Georgia than other colonies** - Georgia, and Savannah in particular, had significant Loyalist support, making it a key target for the British to strengthen their position in the South.

The other options about finding gold and Savannah being the capital of the 13 colonies are not accurate in the context of British military strategy during the American Revolution.
