Joseph Gallows, a Loyalist I have been an American from the day I was born in 1731. It was in West River, Anne Arundel County, Maryland where I grew up. I decided to get an education and after completing my preliminary study I grew a taste for religious speculating. After that I decided to go into law and practice in Philadelphia. In 1757 I was chosen to be on the assembly of Pennsylvania and was on it till the Revolution. In 1766 I was voted unanimously as the Pennsylvania Assemblies speaker until about 1774. Between that time I attended Princeton where I was given the degree of LL.D. I also made several speeches including many in opposition to John Dickinson, I, being in favor of changing the government from proprietary to the royal form. Chief Justice Allen and I spoke to the Provincial congress trying to influence them in favor of the king. When the colonies began to struggle I felt sympathy for the crown and became an active Troy. In 1774 I became a member of the congress and proposed a new type of government consisting of a president general, and a grand council. The president general would be appointed by the king and was to hold office as long as the king was pleased with him. The grand council would be chosen every three years and wa The revolution was a hard time for me and I almost miss the days before the revolution. I had many friends including Benjamin Franklin. He once trusted all his valuable letter-books and other papers with me for safekeeping. I “shared with Thomas Hutchinson the supreme place among American statesmen opposed to the Revolution.” There were no laws against supporting the crown and I was looked up to as a good politician and received unanimous votes. “We had a chance to settle things through legal means.” Some topics in this essay: Britain Revolution, Justice Allen, Britain Colonies, Grand Council, Thomas Hutchinson, County Maryland, Howe British, Assembly Pennsylvania, Constitutional Principals”, Pennsylvania Assemblies, grand council, britain colonies, president appointed, appointed king, held exercised, president appointed king, assembly pennsylvania, Join now to see the rest of the essay!
