Question

2 what caused peggy to escape from enslavement during the american revolution? a she wanted to marry someone who was self - emancipated so she also had to be emancipated. b the british governor promised freedom to enslaved people who escaped and joined the british cause. c she had heard that sir carleton used to be enslaved and was looking to help enslaved people.

Explanation:

During the American Revolution, the British governor (Dunmore) issued a proclamation promising freedom to enslaved people who escaped and joined the British cause. This was a key factor in enslaved people like Peggy seeking to escape. Option A's reason about marriage is not a primary historical cause. Option C is incorrect as Sir Carleton was not enslaved.

Answer:

B. The British governor promised freedom to enslaved people who escaped and joined the British cause.
