Answer 1

Answer:

It was an important military strategy to control the Hudson river.

Explanation:

British Army wanted to divide rest of the states from New England. It would isolate New England this way.  

New England was the center of the rebellion. Three British armies marched from "New York City, Montreal and Fort Oswego" and met in Albany. Then they seized Hudson River. It formed a natural obstruction along the western side of New England. The British were then able to move South and defeat the Southern colonies.

Thus, it was a very important and good military strategy.
