1 Jan 1775 Jahr - British Emancipate Enslaved People in Exchange for Service

Beschreibung:

November 7, Lord Dunmore declares that any enslaved Black people fighting for the British Flag will be freed. This announcement, called Lord Dunmore's Proclamation, does lead many freedom seekers to fight for the Crown but also serves to anger colonists and create further opposition to British rule.
