Sagot :

By 1778, British and American troops in the north were stalemated, and a quick end to the Revolutionary War was doubtful, The British now rekindled a plan to end the rebellion by controlling the southern colonies and then sweeping north to victory

I believe the answer is: By 1778, British and American troops in the north were stalemated, and a quick end to the Revolutionary War was doubtful, The British now rekindled a plan to end the rebellion by controlling the southern colonies and then sweeping north to victory

In order to do that, British General Henry Clinton sent around 3500 of British troops from New York to take Savannah, Georgia. The british did this because they had superior naval forces over the rebels and Georgia is located on the Coastal line.
