A Bloodless Coup & The Resurrection of Rhode Island | Historical Context

Historical Context ·

This episode of Historical Context explores the dark era of the Dominion of New England, revealing how King James II and his enforcers systematically revoked colonial charters to impose autocratic rule, taxation without representation, and forced Anglican worship, until the shockwaves of the Glorious Revolution ignited a bloodless 1689 Boston uprising that allowed Rhode Island to miraculously resurrect its democratic autonomy.
