In this poster it shows the illustration of slaves roles during the american revolution. The proclamation of Earl Dunmore stated that all slaves, indentured servant and others who fought for british would be freed ("Summary of Dunmore's Proclamation"). Dunmore believed that most of the slaves would run away and come fight for the british and create distrust between the masters and the slaves. ("Summary of Dunmore's Proclamation"). The slaves wanted to join the british for freedom but not vengeance against the colonist ("Dunmore's Proclamation: A Time to Choose"). About 100,000 slaves escaped killed or died during the american revolution ("The Revolutionary War"). There were also slaves/african americans that were on the side of the colonist(Patterson).
