Answer:
to demonstrate their strength to the British
Step-by-step explanation:
At the time, the British government imposed very high tax rate for crops-related product that were grown in Georgia. They tried to protest this decision but the British responded by sending more soldiers to their territory.
This caused a built up resentment from Georgian people toward the British Soldiers, leading up to the event when Georgian soldiers attacked British Florida. They wanted the British government to know that they're not afraid to resort to violence if the British government continued their unfair practice.
