Thomas Gage

    General Thomas Gage war ein britischer Offizier, der für seinen langjährigen Dienst in Nordamerika bekannt ist, insbesondere für seine Führung in den frühen Phasen der Amerikanischen Revolution. Aus aristokratischem Hause stammend, nahm er am Franzosen- und Indianerkrieg teil und diente an der Seite von George Washington in der Schlacht am Monongahela. Gage bewies seine administrative Kompetenz als Militärgouverneur von Montreal. Während seiner Zeit als Oberbefehlshaber in Nordamerika wurde er zum Militärgouverneur von Massachusetts ernannt, wo seine Versuche, die Milizen der Patrioten zu entwenden, unbeabsichtigt die Schlachten auslösten, die den Revolutionskrieg entfachten.
