Answer 1

Answer:

A.The siege was a failed attempt by American forces to retake Savannah from the British.

Explanation:

In 1778, the British forces captured the Savannah area under the leadership of Lieutenant-Colonel Campbell.

The battle is sometimes referred to as the Second Battle of Savannah. All these incidents happened during the American Revolutionary War.
