Answer:

After the war Whipple was appointed an associate justice of the Superior Court of New Hampshire. He suffered from a heart ailment for several years and he died, fainting from atop his horse while traveling his court circuit, in November of 1785.

Step-by-step explanation:

In 1777, he was given a general's commission in the state militia. Whipple in his letters could be irascible and blunt. He sometimes misspelled words, his grammar wasn't always precise, and he didn't always bother with punctuation. But the old salt was passionate in his belief freedom was worth the fight.
