The British offered enslaved individuals the promise of freedom if they chose to serve in the British army during conflicts such as the American Revolutionary War. This appeal was part of their strategy to undermine colonial forces by encouraging enslaved people to abandon their masters. Additionally, they provided opportunities for wages and land, further enticing enslaved individuals to join their ranks in exchange for military service.
