Ulfric is kind of narrowminded in his attempt at power. The previous high king has been said to not like the Empire that much and would have gladly joined Ulfric, but he killed him because he didn't want his aid and just be a jarl all his life, he wanted the send a message of how strong he was and become the high king himself.

And look at his city, potential allies are either forced into a ghetto or left to fend for themselves at the dock. The Dark Elves are refugees at this point, invite them into your city and use them to help take back Skyrim and have their skills at your disposal; don't treat them as hostials and make them into future enemies.

His ignorance, lack of foresight and mistrust of other races is what made me hate the man and his rebellion
