Thomas Gage

    Il generale Thomas Gage fu un ufficiale dell'esercito britannico noto per il suo lungo servizio in Nord America, in particolare per il suo comando durante le prime fasi della Rivoluzione Americana. Proveniente da una famiglia aristocratica, prestò servizio nella Guerra franco-indiana, combattendo al fianco di George Washington nella battaglia di Monongahela. Gage dimostrò competenza amministrativa come governatore militare di Montreal. La sua permanenza come comandante in capo in Nord America lo vide nominato governatore militare del Massachusetts, dove i suoi tentativi di reprimere le milizie patriote innescarono involontariamente le battaglie che diedero inizio alla Guerra d'Indipendenza.
