What if the British, or even just a number of British Commanders, freed the slaves of the rebelling American colonies?

How would this take place? Would we see it limited to just the areas that were under Patriot control similar to the Union’s EP on Confederate territory? Maybe just retreating British commanders make it a policy of freeing slaves as they retreat? Or just crippling the Foundinf Fathers, many of whom were slave owners?

What impact does this have on the Revolution? If the Revolution were still successful, what happens to the large population of now freed African Americans?
