Thomas Gage (1720-1787)

You are sent to Boston to serve as General and Governor to suppress the rebellion. This is an enormous challenge. You fail. You have made your career in the colonies and married a woman from
New Jersey. She is suspected of being a Patriot spy so you send her away to Britain. You value liberty but
love law and order. This conflict makes you hesitate to capture Patriot leaders or known spies.
In 1775 you are recalled to Britain for your failure,
but remain in Royal favor.
