Answer:
General William Howe was actually a very interesting figure in American history, and there are many questions you might ask him if you were a journalist back then. Howe was a British general and was involved in the Revolutionary War, but by some accounts, it was a war he did not want. He seemed at times to see himself as a mediator and a peacemaker who wanted to find a way to give the American colonists more freedoms. It was the British government that did not want to negotiate, and after some frustration on both sides, the General and his troops attacked the colonists, attempting to put down the rebellion before it spread.
Given those circumstances, I'd want to ask him whether he really approved of the war. Yes, he fought hard and some historians say he was very close to winning the war for England; but at other times, he acted as if an aggressive and brutal military campaign was not his first choice and he did not want a lot of American casualties. A case could be made that he would have preferred diplomacy, and resorted to military action as a last resort. I would also ask him how he felt about King George. Some sources say the king was mentally unbalanced. What was General Howe's impression of the king? These are just a few of the questions that could be asked, and I am sure a look at General Howe's life would give you ideas for other questions.
