A Revolution Preparation

 

The thing that makes it interesting is that Parliament has drafted a law called the Conciliative Proposition. The law would ease some of the burdens of the colony's taxation and replace taxation with "voluntary contributions". In May when the action was brought before the Continental Congress, the Battle of Lexington and Concord had already happened and the proposal was discarded. The revolution had been in turmoil for a long time, with the rising tensions and eventually breaking out into armed conflict during the Battle of Lexington and Concord.  

William Pitt, an American sympathizer in Parliament, rejoiced at the invaders because they had used military force to defend their faith. When Pitt rejoiced, Thomas Gage was in a state of shock. His reaction was caused by an attack on his arm. While the Patriots celebrated their victories at Lexington and Concord while preparing for the Revolution, Gage was sent back to England with a feeling of shame.
