During the Revolution, the British had many strategies to force the American revolutionaries into surrendering. Each strategy failed, whether it was disrupted by patriot militias or it was just militarily insignificant. The four main strategies utilized by the British were to mobilize the loyalist population, to isolate New England, to take over Philadelphia and collapse the congress, and to conquer the weakest link and to grow from there. With each failed strategy, the Americans gained more confidence and began to believe they could actually win their independence.
Loyalists comprised approximately twenty percent of the American population. British wanted to create an army of loyalists to suppress the revolution. ... Uniting people from all over the colonies and making them put aside their differences to work for a common goal was too difficult of a task for the British to achieve.
New England was viewed by the British as the area most responsible for the revolution and which had the most leaders for the revolutionary cause. The British developed a strategy to suppress the Revolution with the Intolerable Acts and by isolating the leaders of it geographically.
