When residents of Massachusetts learned about the new king and queen in England, they arrested a loyalist named Thomas Hutchinson, who was the royal governor at the time. They opposed his loyalty to the British crown and his enforcement of unpopular policies. After his arrest, Hutchinson was sent back to England for his safety, as tensions between the colonies and the British government were escalating. This incident reflected the growing discontent in the colonies and the desire for self-governance leading up to the American Revolution.
