History

The epic battle between the ironclad CSS Virginia (formerly the steam frigate USS Merrimack) and the USS Monitor made history not simply because ironclads were involved, but rather because it was the first engagement between two ironclads. The outcome of the battle is generally considered to have been a draw, although Monitor was firing solid shot throughout and designer John Ericsson was reportedly furious that Monitor had not been supplied with explosive shells, which he was sure would have sunk Virginia had they been employed by firing at Virginia’s waterline. As it was, Monitor probably did more overall damage to Virginia. Monitor had heavier guns and cracked Virginia’s armor in several places, whereas Monitor suffered only dents, literally.

Hope this Helps ;)

Colt1911 [192]
<span>B. cut off New England from the rest of the colonies. 

British general John Burgoyne had proposed the plan to isolate New England from the rest of the colonies.  The plan had about 8,000 British troops invading into New York from Canada and taking control of the Hudson River.  The plan was initially successful -- the British took Fort Ticonderoga in June of 1777.  But General Burgoyne overextended his access to supplies as he came further into Patriot territory, and the colonial forces were able to cut off his supply line.  After a couple of difficult battles, Burgoyne's eventual surrender of his troops came with the loss at Saratoga in October, 1777.
