Thomas Gauge is important to the history of the United States because of his time as governor of Massachusetts. He was charged with enforcing the Intolerable Acts and attempted to prevent the colonists from revolting. His orders to confiscate weapons from the rebels led to the Battles of Lexington and Concord, which were the earliest battles of the Revolutionary War.
