Use the paragraph below to answer the following question

… a Union [fleet] of four gunboats and seven troop transports steamed in… with the intention of reducing Fort Griffin and landing troops to begin occupying Texas. As the gunboats approached… they came under accurate fire from six cannons. The Confederate gunners at Fort Griffin had been sent there as a punishment. To break the day-to-day monotony, the gunners practiced firing artillery at range markers placed in the river. Their practice paid off. Fort Griffin’s small force of 44 men, under command of Lt. Richard W. Dowling, forced the Union [fleet] to retire and captured the gunboat Clifton and about 200 prisoners.  Further Union operations in the area ceased for about a month. The heroics at Fort Griffin—44 men stopping a Union expedition—inspired other Confederate soldiers.

What battle is the paragraph referring to?

• The Battle of Sabine Pass

• The Battle of Palmito Ranch

• The Battle of Fort Sumter

• The Battle of the Flowers
