Answer:
The correct answer is B. The Rough Riders were a group of soldiers that fought in the famed "Battle of San Juan Hill" against Spain.
Explanation:
Rough Riders is the name received by the 1st Voluntary Cavalry Regiment of the United States during the Spanish-American War, in 1898.
During the Battle of San Juan Hill, the Rough Riders had been hit very hard, with a casualty rate of about 76% of their men killed or injured. Towards the end of July, Theodore Roosevelt (colonel of the regiment and future president) and a group of high-ranking officials and doctors wrote to the United States Department of War on July 31, "the army must be relieved immediately, or will die" Therefore, on August 8, the remains of the regiment were transferred by ship, with other troops, to Montauk, Long Island, being welcomed as heroes on August 14.
