They were promised freedom for fighting.
Explanation: The British (e.g., Lord Dunmore's 1775 proclamation and later the Philipsburg Proclamation) offered enslaved people freedom if they escaped Patriot owners and joined British forces, which was the main reason many African Americans fought for the British. Protecting family or gaining land were secondary or individual motives.
