gen. Thomas Gage
Yes. Thomas Hutchinson (1711-1780) was the Loyalist governor of Massachusetts from 1758 to 1774. Disliked by many colonists, he was replaced by General Gage in May 1774, the British government having decided to install a military governor.
In 1774, there were two separate acts that closed Boston Harbor and that placed the government of Massachusetts under British control. These were two of the five Restraining Acts that were known alternately by the British as the Coercive Acts and by the American colonists as the Intolerable Acts.1 The Boston Port Act was introduced on March 18, 1774, and passed on June 1, 1774, to compel Boston to reimburse the East India Company for the tea that was destroyed during the Boston Tea Party.1, 2 The Massachusetts Government Act was passed on May 20, 1774, to punish Massachusetts for its "errant behavior," by limiting its self government.3
What is the Intolerable Acts? A series of laws that parliament passed to punish the Massachusetts colonies for the Boston Tea Party. When did this event take place? 1774 Fact: The Intolerable Acts were first known as the Coercive Acts but were so harsh that people called it what its called today. What Happened? The colonies were pressed with greater taxes without any representation in Britain. This eventually led to the Boston Tea Party. Then the British passed several punitive acts aimed at bringing the colonies back into submission of the King. What did they do to the Massachusetts colonies? They took away many of its rights of self-government. Almost all positions in the colonial government were to be appointment by the governor or directly by the King. Activities of town meetings were limited.
