from Historical Context · host Jeremy LaKosh

This episode of Historical Context examines the geopolitical aftermath of the Glorious Revolution between 1689 and 1691, revealing how Connecticut slyly resurrected its hidden charter while King William legally erased the Plymouth colony and issued the 1691 Province Charter, officially ending the Massachusetts Puritan theocracy by tying voting rights to property and installing a Royal Governor with absolute veto power.Follow us on Twitter: https://twitter.com/HistoricalCPFollow us on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/the.historical.context/Fife and Drum by Kevin MacLeod Link: https://incompetech.filmmusic.io/song/3748-fife-and-drumLicense: http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/
