As revolution surged, he fought to keep colonial governance alive while Patriot leaders dismantled the royal system from within. Torn between his father’s growing anti-British stance and his own loyalty to the Crown, William refused to resign, even as his authority crumbled. By 1776, he was arrested, branded a traitor, and imprisoned—separated from his wife who died before his release. He later rallied Loyalists in New York, helping form a militant resistance group that spiraled into violence, ultimately forcing him to flee to England in 1782, marking the end of his American political journey.
