What if...the British General Thomas Gage was persuaded by the colonists to become a Minuteman and join their cause? Maybe he could have been like a spy for the colonists, while pretending to be loyal to the British. He could have prevented the Boston Tea Party on Dec. 1773, because he sympathized with the colonists, and then met secretly with the Continental Congress in Philadelphia. The news he could have shared at the meeting, in an act of support, helped word spread quickly throughout the colonies because each colony sent one representative to the meeting.
