Rockingham, Charles Watson Wentworth, Marquis of 1730-
Statesman; born in England, March 19, 1730; became the recognized chief of the Whig party in 1764; and the head of the cabinet in the following year.
He made a vigorous effort to establish harmony between the American colonies and the mother-country, against the opposition of the King and his own colleagues.
In 1766 he secured the repeal of the stamp duties, but before he was able to carry out the other measures in his scheme he was forced by growing opposition to resign his office.
On March 28, 1782, when Lord North resigned the office of prime minister, the Marquis of Rockingham was again called to the head of the cabinet.
The avowed principle of Rockingham and his colleagues was to acknowledge the independence of the United States and treat with them accordingly.
