Answer 1

The two 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.
2. Loyalist support was stronger in Georgia than other colonies.

These factors would have made Savannah a strategic location for the British during the American Revolutionary War.
