The three British officers who were supposed to meet at Albany, New York, to isolate New England from the rest of the colonies during the American Revolutionary War were General John Burgoyne, Colonel Barry St. Leger, and General William Howe. Their plan aimed to coordinate a military campaign that would cut off New England from the other colonies. However, the plan ultimately failed as the officers were unable to coordinate their movements effectively, leading to significant British defeats.

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 plan to isolate New England from the rest of the colonies during the American Revolutionary War failed primarily due to logistical challenges and strong resistance from Patriot forces. Key strategic points, such as the Hudson River and the control of key fortifications, were not secured effectively. Additionally, the British underestimation of colonial resolve, combined with successful mobilization and tactics by American forces, thwarted their efforts. This strategic miscalculation ultimately contributed to the failure of the campaign.
