03.17 - The Colonies are Revolting!

The Regicide of Charles I prompts Royalist reactions in the English
colonies. Virginia, Bermuda, Barbados, Antigua, Newfoundland, and
Maryland all proclaimed Charles II as their king. Some of these
were forced by popular uprisings, others were political coups, and
one was a Deputy Governor taking advantage of his boss being away.
The Commonwealth, though distracted by the wars with England and
Scotland, was not about to let this rebellion stand. Join the
