I just finished reading David McCullough’s “1776” and there were some instances where British soldiers gave themselves up in trade for information (for example, while Boston was surrounded), but it was more for a good hot meal and to get away from the smallpox rather than to join the Patriots. The Brits had the same attitude then about Americans as our own Government Elites have now. That we’z jesta buncha stanky countrified rednecks.

Stanky countrified rednecks? Hey! I resemble that remark. You must have me confused.
