Why Wars Happened History Podcast by Emily Ross

Episode notes

A king executed, a colony forced to bend the knee to the murderous Parliament, England too busy to govern the colonies, and a near civil war between Virginia colonists. This week, we dive into the wild times in colonial Virginia after the king's execution. Parliament takes charge, the colony crafts a new constitution, and the power balance shifts. We also cover the uproar over the Navigation Acts, a near civil war with Virginia’s Dutch settlers, and Virginia's first protest against 'taxation without representation.' It's all about how Virginia started tasting freedom and handling self-governance amidst chaos. Don't miss it!
