Rise of the Dominion of New England (1686-1688)

With the era of isolation rapidly closing for the Puritan Colonies, King James II seeks to unifying New England (and beyond) into a massive super-colonial dominion, governed by Sir Edmund Andros without an assembly, in defiance of the Magna Carta.

I just want to say I really in much enjoy this series as you go extreme detail in explaining pretty much the not only English, Dutch, swedish Spanish and French colonization/exploration of the Americas between the 1500s-and now the late 1700(as well as the indigenous native peoples reaction to it) especially going to details that I've never heard about any American history class/ even certain books on colonial history of the Americas.

Because no attempt was made to teach any 'truthful accounts' of the Early Colonial 'New World' (or North America) in my many years in School & University, I really enjoy taking responsibility for my independent education, without any tuition (just annoying ads), to learn about this very interesting & most significant period of our 'Lost American History'. Now that I realize how our ancestors established themselves on another continent and conquered the indigenous peoples that inhabited the Lands & Waters for thousands of years, and built a 'World Power' that emulates the 'Roman Empire"..!! Simply the MOST fascinating history..!! Thank You for your intelligent & honest presentation.

I rarely leave comments anywhere on the internet. But in this case I have to because this is one of the BEST history podcasts that I have ever come across. I thoroughly enjoyed every episode and if I were a wealthy individual I would certainly send you that block of gold you suggested. Thank you very much!

Been waiting for someone to tackle the Dominion.

ok i just finished watching everything, like the whole last two seasons so far, and WOW, you've done an amazing job with this whole thing. you've answered questions about where i live (east/central MA) that i didn't even know i had, and i feel like i've learned more than i could have ever hoped to know about this region. and also provides a load of information on my french canadian ancestors that i hadn't gotten around to researching in depth yet.
i can't wait to see everything you do in future, and thank you so much, honestly. this is the exact sorta content i'd been wishing i could find for years

The subject of Dominion in the United States was once covered in a novel 'historical romance' by Anya Seton called DRAGONWYCK, which was later made into a superlative Hollywood production in 1946. The climactic scenes were chilling in that they mirrored certain real-life possibilities at the time I watched it on YouTube. Recommended.

This should be taught in high school American history.

Makes me angry just listening to the centuries-ago abusive authority imposed by Andros. Little petty despot. Love these podcasts (learned quite a bit) but sad to say I am caught up and have to wait for new ones now. no more "I feel like a podcast from Other States of America this evening, let's see what is next".

I think you are jumping the gun, we need to go back to 1609, and talk about Sir George Somers and the somers isles company, but if you went back to 1609 and bought up Bermuda, than you would have to explain yourself in depth, , referring to the people of Bermuda, , , , Bermuda was so called discovered in 1609 by Sir George Somers eventually the Somers isles company and Virginia company merged, , in 1619 the first 20 slaves arrived in James town and in 1620 here comes the pilgrims, Bermuda is the oldest British colony in the Westernhamisphere and has the oldest Anglican church outside of England, in 1635 you had the Pequot war in New England and 1675 you had King Phillips war in New England, , they killed thousands of tribal people in that region dump them in the Bermuda triangle took the Pequots to Bermuda and scattered them around the world in the name of Jesus and bought in some Africans who was willing to be a slave, the novel, the story about Moby Dick was written in New England, ,ITS about a captain who was eager to kill a whale, , , , this story is about the genocide that happened in America and thats why the whale is called a sperm whale and the boat in the story is named after my tribe, , the Pequots, , , , England controlled new England but Spain the catholics controlled Florida and the Dutch and French controlled Louisianna and from there is how the Caibbean and central America got populated, , only a few came from Africa
