Answer 1

It was a joint British and Loyalist attempt to recapture the city of Savannah, which had been captured by the Americans in 1778. The siege ended in a decisive British victory, resulting in the Americans being forced to withdraw from the city and leaving the British in control of Savannah for the remainder of the war. The Siege of Savannah was an important turning point in the Southern theater of the American Revolution and had significant implications for the outcome of the war.
