Children from British cities were sent to the countryside during World War II to keep them safe from anticipated bombing.
In late December 1778, the British were able to capture Savannah, Georgia.
During the War of 1812, the British aimed to capture Washington, D.C., to demoralize the American government and demonstrate their military strength, culminating in the burning of the Capitol and the White House in 1814. New Orleans was strategically important for controlling the Mississippi River and trade routes, as it was a crucial port for the western territories. Securing these cities would not only disrupt American sovereignty but also strengthen British influence in the region. Ultimately, capturing these key locations was part of a broader strategy to reassert British control over North America.
During the Battle of Britain, British cities were getting bombed daily. In response to this, civilians in urban environments such as Manchester sent their children to the countryside for safety.
The British laid siege to several cities during various conflicts, but one of the most notable is the Siege of Gibraltar, which began in 1779 and lasted until 1783 during the American Revolutionary War. The siege was conducted by Spanish and French forces attempting to capture the strategically important British territory. Gibraltar ultimately remained under British control despite the prolonged siege.

There were more people living in the cities and they were more unprepared. In the country, men (and some women!) used guerrilla warfare successfully. Ethan Allen, Francis Marion, Nathan Greene, and Daniel Morgan led the forces which defeated the British in this way.
The cities contained more people loyal to the crown so to stay in the cities was much more pleasant for the officers. By 1777 the British maintained control only in the area around NYC. The countryside was more hostile and could not be subdued. British intelligence had severelyunderestimated civilian hostility and an army far from its supply base could not survive. In Philadelphia society enjoyed the officer's company for the winter, but the colony was no more loyal after the occupation than when the Americans controlled the city. The British presence alienated neutral citizens and converted them to the fight. Also the countryside was more apt to practice guerrilla type war than the classical type that the British troops were trained in.

Once you travel outwards from the city centre, and pass through the urban areas, you will enter the British countryside.

it would allow the british to split the country in half.
It drew large numbers of American's from countryside to nations cities
Yes. Children who were considered to be in danger from expected bombing, were evacuated from towns and cities to the comparative safety of the countryside.
