27 Jan 1683 Jahr - Gove's Rebellion

Beschreibung:

A failed uprising led by Edward Gove in New Hampshire. Many colonists were upset that they had a royally appointed governor, Edward Cranfield. In 1683, Cranfield dissolved the colony's locally elected council after he was unable to pass revenue bill, assuming direct control over New Hampshire. Gove, a member of the former council decided to rebel against Cranfield, and gathered around fifteen supporters. They were caught by the militia, most of whom were set free. Gove, on the other hand, was convicted with high treason and was imprisoned in the Tower of London. He was sentenced to be hanged, drawn, and quartered, but was set free after three years instead.
