Answer 1

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

Step-by-step explanation:

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

However, in 1779 in what was known as the Siege of Savannah, the American forces attempted to retake the area from British forces but failed and the drive was eventually abandoned.

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