Questions: Which of the following describes a result of Lord Dunmore's proclamation? Select all that apply. An offer of freedom to enslaved people who left their masters and joined the British cause The suspension of civil institutions and the beginning of martial law A permanent redistribution of property from suspected rebels to confirmed Loyalists

The answers are:

• An offer of freedom to enslaved people who left their masters and joined the British cause
• The suspension of civil institutions and the beginning of martial law

This is correct. Lord Dunmore's Proclamation, issued in November 1775, promised freedom to enslaved people who escaped from their Patriot masters and joined the British forces. This was a strategic move to undermine the labor force of the rebelling colonies and bolster the British military ranks.

This is also correct. Lord Dunmore declared martial law in Virginia as part of his proclamation. This meant the suspension of civil government and the imposition of direct military control, which was intended to suppress the growing rebellion.

This is incorrect. While there were instances of property being confiscated from rebels and given to Loyalists during the American Revolution, Lord Dunmore's Proclamation did not specifically address a permanent redistribution of property. The primary focus of the proclamation was on offering freedom to enslaved people and establishing martial law.
