The Philipsburg Proclamation is named after the ''Philipsburg Manor'', which was used during the Revolutionary War by general Henry Clinton. The last lord of Philipse Manor was Loyalist Frederick Philipse III who was also himself a slave owner. The Philipsburg Proclamation only sought to free the slaves of patriots in the newly formed United States, the proclamation did not free any slaves held by Loyalists.
