I'm not sure what you're really asking but Burgoyne wanted to cut the colonies in half down the Hudson River Valley because he looked down on them. Hope I helped a little!
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.

He was a British general who presented a new plan of victory to help the British conquer New York in the American Revolutionary War. He said that if British troops cut off New England from the other colonies, the war would soon be over. He wanted 3 British armies to march into Albany from different directions, then they would attack from all sides and the Rebels would surrender. Using Burgoyne's theory, General Howe captured Philadelphia. In the end, despite rebel obstacles such as cut down trees and dams, Burgoyne recaptured Fort Ticonderoga. But, the Green Mountain Boys attacked British soldiers that were sent to find food and horses. Then the Green Mountain Boys hurried to New York, surrounded the British, and trapped them without food or horses. Eventually Burgoyne had to surrender.
to cut off the north and the south
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.
because the british wanted to cut of New England
Because in 1777, England and France were fighting for terrotories.
The Battle of Brandywine Creek was fought near Philadelphia on September 11, 1777. The British under General Wm Howe beat the Colonials, but unfortunately for him, the Colonial Army was still in a fighting condition. Howe went to Philadelphia hoping that an uprising of Loyalists would join him so that he could clobber the Colonial Army in Pennsylvania, thus spitting the Colonies in half. That never happened and Howe had effectively cut himself out of the War, leaving British forces under General Burgoyne without much needed reinforcements as he went into the Battle of Saratoga where they were soundly beaten.
He cut the british flag pole, to be recognised frim the british colony. He was a superior activist he cut down the british flagpole...good on him
They had wanted to take over New England and cut them off from the rest of the colonies and crush the American government.
