His rule of Massachusetts was characterized by hostility and tension , with political enemies opposing his attempts to gain a regular salary and regularly making complaints about his official and private actions . Most of his tenure was dominated by the French and Indian Wars , in which the two provinces were on the front lines with New France and suffered from a series of major and minor French and Indian raids . He orchestrated an unsuccessful attempt to capture the Acadian capital of Port Royal in 1707 , raised provincial militia forces for its successful capture in 1710 , and directed an unsuccessful expedition against Quebec in 1711
