General Thomas Gage was sent to Boston in 1774 as the military governor of the Massachusetts colony in the wake of growing tensions between the British government and American colonists. His primary mission was to maintain order and enforce British laws, particularly following the Boston Tea Party and the implementation of the Intolerable Acts. Gage's presence aimed to suppress colonial dissent and prevent further unrest, but his actions ultimately contributed to the escalation of conflict leading to the American Revolution.
