The king’s execution ends the civil war in England, a governor who would die for the king, and a Virginia that would not bend the knee to a king-killing Parliament in England. Explore the intense standoff in 1650s Virginia as colonists nearly ignited a war with Britain. Led by Virginia’s Governor Berkeley, the fiercely loyal colonists refused to recognize the king's murderers—Parliament—as legitimate rulers. Amidst armed militias and British soldiers along the James River, Virginia stood firm against Parliament’s authority. Discover how the colonists defiantly continued trading with the Dutch, which led to economic gains for the colony but losses for England. It's a gripping tale of loyalty, rebellion, and the brink of colonial conflict!
