The Pressing of Dunmore’s Proclamation
Freedom Lost, Freedom Gained
Lord Dunmore has silenced all dissent. He has seized the printing press in Hampton and has used it to print his proclamation offering freedom to any slave or servant of the rebels that would join the British forces. Freedom lost and freedom gained. Join us as we peer into the origins of the Virginia Bill of Rights and
explore our shared colonial history.
