Explanation:
- There are two events or actions of Lord Dunmore that made him unfair according to the American Patriots.
- The first action was Gunpowder incident. The American revolutionary war began on April 19,1775.
- On April 20,1775 Lord Dunmore ordered to seize weapons and gunpowder from colonial magazine in Virginia.
- When colonists confronted him about their captured gun powder, he pressurized them and threatened them about the slaves freedom. This was a sign of Lord Dunmore's British allegiances.
- The second action that made colonists angry was Lord Dunmore's proclamation, in which he issued a decree which gave freedom to slaves and servants if they declared their loyalty to British and helped them by serving British military.
- By not recognizing slaves' motivations, Lord Dunmore issued a proclamation which boosted the capabilities of British military. This resulted not in him becoming a British hero, but an American villain.
