THis article addresses the Ft. Gower Resolutions of Nov. 5, 1774. In the resolutions, the British troops agreed to the resolution that illustrates some of the grievances that helped push colonists towards revolution.
The Resolution is as follows:
Resolved, That we will bear the most
faithful allegiance to his Majesty King
George the Third, whilst his Majesty
delights to reign over a brave and free people;
that we will, at the expense of life and
every thing dear and valuable, exert ourselves
in support of the honour of his
Crown and the dignity of the British
Empire. But as the love of Liberty, and
attachment to the real interests and just
rights of America outweigh every other consideration,
we resolve that we will exert
every power within us for the defense of
American liberty, and for the support of her
just rights and privileges; not in any precipitate,
riotous, or tumultuous manner, but
when regularly called forth by the unanimous
voice of our countrymen.
Resolved, That we entertain the greatest
respect for his Excellency the Right
Honourable Lord Dunmore, who commanded
the expedition against the
Shawanese; and who, we are confident,
underwent the great fatigue of this singular
campaign from no other motive than the
true interest of this country.
Signed by order and in behalf of the
whole Corps
