Unless history class has completely failed me, the British did not try to abolish slavery during the Revolutionary war, and your point is completely irrelevant.
But they were still slavers fighting to maintain their way of life against a system which they felt was denying them representation. More importantly, Britain had effectively outlawed slavery in 1772 which certainly would have concerned slavers in the 1770s since it could be seen as a hint of legislation to come, as was Lincoln's election years later.
