Dunmore's Proclamation irritated many Virginia slave owners because it offered freedom to enslaved individuals who would join the British forces, undermining the institution of slavery that they relied on for labor and economic stability. This threatened their control over enslaved people and incited fears of slave rebellions. Additionally, it highlighted the division between loyalists and patriots, intensifying tensions during the Revolutionary War. Many saw it as an attack not just on their property but also on their way of life.
