Considered an act of treason by British authorities, in New England it was considered a brave assault on a “piratical” captain and his ship. The attack and its aftermath highlighted colonial frustrations and prompted the American colonies to call for the creation of a Continental Congress. email [email protected] https://www.sos.ri.gov/divisions/civics-and-education/for-educators/themed-collections/gaspee
