Colonists in North America reacted to the Glorious Revolution

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Colonists in North America reacted to the Glorious Revolution by overthrowing the governors of the Dominion of New England and Maryland. The Dominion of New England was seen as a threat to colonial self-government and individual liberty, and the overthrow of its governors was a reaction to the regime change in England. Maryland also experienced political turmoil and protests from colonists against its royal governor, resulting in his removal from office. While there may have been individual protests against the new king, they were not widespread, and there is no evidence of colonists launching Indian wars or attacking Dutch settlements in Delaware as a reaction to the Glorious Revolution.
