Paragraph 1

My name is Thomas gage i work at The Military Officer. And for a short time i was the governor of Montreal And Two of his kids were born in montreal.I was expecting trouble from the Indians because then the Pontiac Rebellion just began. Then a couple years later I was Appointed as a Military royal Governor in Massachusetts. Everyone in Boston Were happy to that there old governor have left the city. They were more happy to see me Becoming their new Governor but when ne began enforcing the Intolerable Acts, The Boston Port act and the Massachusetts Government act, Which was Sending Representatives to the Continental Congress, I dissolved the Assembly and set up a Governor Council. A lot of people Choose to Refuse to meet with the Council.

Paragraph 2

Then Finally Britain had enough and I was ordered to take decisive action. I also had received intelligence that Concord Massachusetts was Being used to store Weapons. I sent Troops to march there which was leading to a Skirmish in Lexington, But there was not but little found when he Concord as gage plans has reached to the Patriots and the weapons had been moved. Leaving Concord the rebels and Militia attacked the the British Column. Then the Battle of Lexington and Concord Caused the british more casualties than the rebels. Then the colonial Militia, emboldened by their successes.Then it was Speculated that Thomas Gage's wife Passed Information to the Patriot And spying on her Husband and passing Intelligence regarding to the lexington and concord battles to Joseph warren.While the evidence is entirely circumstantial at the best and her husband did send her to England in the summer of 1775.

Paragraph 3

Then on june 1775 I had wrote a letter to great britain, telling Lord Dartmouth of the results of the battle on June 17th. Then three days after My report arrived in England. Lord Dartmouth issued the order recalling me and replacing him with William Howe. The once everyone heard the news they wanted to remove me from office.So then i week later they temporaily replaced me with with the commander of the forces in boston while general Careleton was given comand of the forces in boston. Athouthy king george wanted to reward me for my mild general service and I sole reward after lord george Germain. Then sadly as the war machines was reduced in the 1780s My military activities were declined. I supported the loyalist to recover their losses incurred when they were forced to leave the colonies and My health was starting to decline in 1780. In April 2nd was the died of a bad health habit.
