Question

Why did Lord Dunmore's War begin?

Chief Logan believed white people to be inherently evil.

The settlers continued to move onto Native Americans’ land.

A Maryland soldier murdered ten members of Logan’s tribe.

The Gods told Chief Logan to go to war with the settlers.

Answer 1

A Maryland soldier murdered ten members of Logan’s tribe.

Step-by-step explanation:

Logan was friendly and cooperative with the settlers until ten of his people, including two women, were killed and scalped by the English in April 30, 1774. Some of Logan's family members were victims. He believed a Maryland soldier was responsible. Logan allied his tribe with the British and went on the warpath on the Virginia and Pennsylvania frontiers, instigating what would later be called Lord Dunmore's War of 1774.

Answer 2

Taxation without representation has been the traditionally accepted cause of the American Revolution. Such an understanding of the Revolution, while valid, does not give credit to its complexity. An often-neglected aspect of Virginia’s American Revolution experience is the importance of the frontier. Soil exhaustion, a recurrent problem of Virginia’s tobacco economy, turned planters into land hunters. Indian tribes such as the Shawnee, Mingo, Delaware, and Cherokee checked Virginian expansion into the Ohio country. Western expansion did not cause the Revolution, but from Lord Dunmore’s War of 1774 to the conclusion of the American Revolution in the west with the campaigns of George Rogers Clark, western expansion figured significantly in Virginia’s experience of the Revolution, resulting in increasingly militarized relations with their Indian neighbors.
