During the American War of Independence, the British planned to isolate and then re-occupy the New England colonies in a variety of ways. Most decisively, they invaded upstate New York in the middle of 1777, aiming to drive a wedge between the New England colonies and the rest of the "rebel" territory. Their campaign came to a halt with defeats in several battles around Saratoga, NY, in the autumn of 1777.
In 1777, the British' attempt to cut New England off from the rest of the colonies failed when Burgoyne surrendered his army at Saratoga.
The British planned to cut New England and New York off from the rest of the colonies. British general John Burgoyne decided the best way to do this was to capture the Hudson River Valley.

They had wanted to take over New England and cut them off from the rest of the colonies and crush the American government.
the plan that Burgoyne would come south and have back up coming east from the lake and Howe would come north it was ruined because the back up were delayed and Howe ignored the plan and went to Philadelphia and Burgoyne underestimated the colonies power by attacking when his men were exhausted of clearing the way.
The reason New France was is such a difficult military position is because the British could cut off New France's supplies. Also New France was surrounded by the British (who was in the North) and New England (who was in the south). So New France wanted more land so they went to war with the British.
