Thomas Gage

    Le général Thomas Gage fut un officier de l'armée britannique connu pour son long service en Amérique du Nord, particulièrement pour son commandement durant les premières étapes de la Révolution Américaine. Issu d'une famille aristocratique, il servit durant la guerre de Sept Ans, aux côtés de George Washington lors de la bataille de la Monongahela. Gage fit preuve de compétences administratives en tant que gouverneur militaire de Montréal. Son mandat de commandant en chef en Amérique du Nord le vit être nommé gouverneur militaire du Massachusetts, où ses tentatives de réprimer les milices patriotes déclenchèrent involontairement les batailles qui embrasèrent la guerre d'Indépendance.
