Why did the british think that cutting off the new england colonies from the middle colonies would thm defeat the patriots

Imagine this.. if you were in the middle of 2 fights, you would have weapons coming at you from both directions. If you blocked off one of the armies, it would be easier for you to defend yourself. Also, they could be more aware of an attack is they only have 1 side to worry about. :)

The correct answer is "Homelands were rural communities where thousands of black South Africans were forced to relocate".

Explanation:

In the 1950s the National Party-led government in South Africa began consolidating the apartheid, which allowed racial discrimination and injustice towards black people. As a result, South Africa's homelands became rural communities at which black South Africans were forced to move from their homes. These Forced Removal events were particularly numerous and infamous when the Group Areas Act was enacted.
