Now dunland like lots of countries would be very prideful of their freedom. so it would be hard to convince them to be slaves. Do you see how it is easy to convince someone who half believes in something, to fully believe in it. This is called persausion.

for example. If you were to try to talk to someone who was a devout believer in a religion and you were a right hand of the person they believe in and you said "since I am the right hand of your god work for me." they would listen. or if you said to dunlendings who already hate rohan "Rohan burns their prisoners alive." they would probably listen.

Now if you said to a people prideful of their freedom " Come be my slaves for the rest of your lives" they would most likely disagree. Saruman was able to convince the Riders of Rohan that he was in the right just after they had fought his armeis off from the Hornburg...
