Detailed explanation-1: -And in December of 1774, about 400 New Hampshire patriots turned the tables on the British, seizing 100 barrels of powder from Fort William and Mary. By April of 1775, the contest was on. Gage sent soldiers April 18 to Concord to seize or destroy its gunpowder.
Detailed explanation-2: -Patrick Henry led a small militia force toward Williamsburg to force return of the gunpowder to the colony’s control. The matter was resolved without conflict when a payment of £330 was made to Henry. Dunmore, fearing for his personal safety, later retreated to a naval vessel, ending royal control of the colony.

This left him pinned at Yorktown and surrounded by the French Navy. His surrender would end the American Revolutionary War.
