Who was Lieutenant Governor John Graves Simcoe?

A Loyalist military officer who led Upper Canada toward abolition of slavery in 1793
A British Prime Minister
A Canadian explorer
An American Revolutionary War hero

The correct answer is: A Loyalist military officer who led Upper Canada toward abolition of slavery in 1793

John Graves Simcoe was a prominent figure in the development of Upper Canada, and as a Loyalist military officer, he played a significant role in shaping its future. Simcoe was a staunch opponent of slavery and advocated for its abolition in the region, making him a key figure in the fight against indentured servitude and the slave trade. Option B is incorrect because Simcoe was not a British political figure, but rather an important figure in the British military. Option C is incorrect because while Simcoe did explore parts of Upper Canada, this was not his primary role or accomplishment. Option D is incorrect because Simcoe was not involved in the American Revolutionary War, as he was primarily focused on his work in Upper Canada.
