Correct answer: 4

The February 1779 Patriot victory at Kettle Creek boosted Patriot morale, disrupted British efforts to raise Loyalist militia in the Georgia backcountry, and yielded arms, supplies, and prisoners that aided the Patriot cause. It did not end British occupation of Georgia (Savannah remained in British hands for some time), but it revived resistance and helped sustain Patriot operations in the region.
