Pittman · Answer 1

The British offered freedom to the slaves, if they left their masters. They lied. The British thought that if they could start a mass desertion of slaves, it would cripple the colonist's economy and the colonist would be forced to surrender. Food would be scarce due to no slaves laboring in the fields, planting, harvesting, etc.
