Скачать или смотреть Battle of Savannah, 1779, American Revolution

The Siege of Savannah, fought in October 1779, was one of the bloodiest battles of the American Revolution—and one of its most overlooked. French and American forces, led by Count d’Estaing and General Benjamin Lincoln, launched a daring assault to retake the city from British control. But after weeks of bombardment, the final attack collapsed in a storm of musket fire and confusion. Hundreds of allied troops fell in minutes. The British held firm, and Savannah remained in Redcoat hands until the war’s end. This failed siege marked a major setback for the Patriots in the South.
