Question

Where did Patriot forces under George Rogers Clark defeat British forces to strengthen the American position in the West?

Answer 1

Vincennes

Step-by-step explanation:

The patriots supported independence because they did not want to suffer at the hands of the British. The Patriots were victorious in the revolutionary war because they were fighting for their cause. Patriots were fighting for their freedom and rights. George Rogers Clark was a military officer from Virginia who became famous for his victory in the American Revolution against the British. He led a small band of frontiersmen through the cold waters (February) of the Illinois country to capture Fort Sackville at Vincennes in 1779 which was earlier captured by the British.
