Thomas+Gage+JM



My friend General Thomas Gage served as commander and cheif of the British Forces from 1763 to 1775. He oversaw the British response to the 1763 Pontiac's Rebellion, also in 1774 he was appointed the military govner of the Providence of Massachusetts Bay. His attempts to seize military stores of patriot militias lead to the Battles of Lexington and Concord. After the Pyrrhic victory of Bunker Hill he was replaced by William Howe and he returned to Britain.
