Answer:

This statement is false.

Step-by-step explanation:

This statement is false, because actually British were the ones to offer the freedom to slaves if they were to fight in the war against revolutionist.

This was done first in Virginia by Lord Dunmore, and it spread across colonies. Even the Congress wanted to enlist enslaved people in the army, but it was often opposed by soldiers.
