Artifact Overview
Admiral Richard Howe and his brother General William Howe, British military commanders and commissioners sent to restore peace in the colonies, issued a proclamation in 1776 granting a pardon to those in rebellion against the King. Colonists who complied could feel secure against British actions, but only if the British succeeded. Later, patriot-led state governments would issue their own oaths of allegiance.
