He twice served as Governor of the Province of Quebec, from 1768 to 1778, concurrently serving as Governor General of British North America in that time, and again from 1785 to 1795. He commanded British troops in the American War of Independence. In 1782 and 1783, he led as the commander-in-chief of all British forces in North America.
