Answer:

The American colonists attached the city of Savannah in an attempt to regain control because: Option C Controlling the major port city would prevent Great Britain from receiving supplies it needed for its military.

Explanation:

Savannah is an important Atlantic port, and it helped to supply plantations in the region and acted as a mercantile center. Savannah was also very strategic to the British as a maritime power and from there they could easily conquer both further south and further north, as they unfortuately did after the siege was unsuccessful (Smith, 2019). The Siege of Savannah is considered one of the deadliest in terms of losses for the American Revolutionaries and their foreign supporters (Irish, French, and other mercinaries participated in trying to defeat the British) in this battle. The Britsh would go on to reconquer Charleston, SC and northward into parts of Virginia as well.
