What was an effect of the invasion of Florida?

Answer
A
American Indian groups entered the war on the side of the patriots.
B
The British retaliated by capturing Georgia.
C
The patriots successfully gained access to ports on the Gulf of Mexico.
D
European nations began to support the patriot cause.

Explanation

The Spanish invasion of British-held West Florida helped provoke a British response in the southern colonies. The British retaliated by capturing Georgia, making choice B correct. The invasion did not bring American Indian groups or European nations into the war on the patriots’ side, and it did not give the patriots control of Gulf ports.
