Answer:

Clark would wait until spring to attempt to recapture the fort.

Step-by-step explanation:

The Siege of Fort Vincennes was a battle that took place during the Revolutionary War in Vincennes Indiana. George Rogers Clark won the battle over the British Lieutenant Henry Hamilton. Hamilton reoccupied the fort, but he knew that during winter the weather was harsh, so Clark waited until spring to launch a surprise attack.

Colonel Hamilton anticipated that nobody would attack the fort during the winter,after he took control of the small fort in Vincennes. This thinking of his led to most of the soldiers returning to their homes and the colonel was left with only 35 regular troop members. I hope that this is the answer that has helped you.
