The militia were harassing the retreating British to disrupt their retreat and weaken their morale, as well as to gain a tactical advantage. This guerrilla warfare tactic aimed to demonstrate resilience and determination among the local forces, encouraging further resistance against British authority. Additionally, it sought to prevent the British from regrouping or reinforcing their positions, thereby contributing to the overall revolutionary effort. The harassment also served to rally support for the militia's cause among the local populace.
