Answer 2

The correct answer is A. Freedom

Explanation:

During the American Revolutionary War (1775-1783) the colonies fought against Great Britain to be independent. Additionally, the war divided the population of the colonies into loyalists who supported Great Britain and patriots who wanted the colonies to be independent.

In this context, many slaves were encouraged by Great Britain to fight on its side, this with the promise they would give slaves a bounty or payment to be free. Due to this, many slaves identified as loyalists and fought in the war, despite this, the promise of freedom was not real and many continue being slaves after the end of the war. Thus, it was freedom what the British offer to slaves to encourage them to join the British side during the American Revolution.
