Thomas Pownall

    Thomas Pownall was a British colonial official and politician whose insights into the North American colonies before the American Revolution were highly regarded. Serving as governor of Massachusetts Bay, he was instrumental in mobilizing the colonial militia during the French and Indian War and resisted military interference in colonial governance. Upon returning to England, he continued to advocate for colonial interests in Parliament, though often against prevailing sentiment. His widely read writings on colonial affairs offered a unique perspective, and he is remembered for his principled stance in favor of colonial rights.
