Question

why did some enslaved people risk everything to escape and join the british side during the american revolution?
o to show their loyalty to the king
o to gain their freedom
o to earn money
o to be reunited with their families

Explanation:

Enslaved people who joined the British side during the American Revolution often did so with the hope of gaining their freedom. The British had offered the possibility of freedom to enslaved individuals who sided with them, as they sought to undermine the American colonists. Showing loyalty to the king (option A) was not the primary motivation of enslaved people seeking liberation. Earning money (option C) was not a main driver, and reuniting with families (option D) was not the core reason for joining the British; the key incentive was the chance for freedom.

Answer:

B. to gain their freedom
