Rejects & Revolutionaries (American History Podcast‪)‬ Sarah Tanksalvala

Maryland finalizes its legal system, ending up with a document which looked remarkably similar to a Bill of Rights.  A huge amount of debate preceeded that, though.  This episode examines existing primary sources to try to investigate that debate, a huge amount of which revolved around the issue of church rights.  

A quick recap of everything that's changed in America during the period of the English Civil Wars and Interregnum/Commonwealth, as well as problems colonists are facing going into the reign of King Charles II.   By the way, I've got a patreon (for ongoing support) and Buy Me a Coffee (easier for one-time donations) now, so if you're interested in helping support the show, the links are below!

After the Restoration prompted a bloody revolt by Thomas Venner's Fifth Monarchist group in London, Charles II cast a wary eye on New England.  Meanwhile, regicides Whalley and Goffe had escaped punishment in England to make their home in Massachusetts.  The fallout would lead to the end of New Haven as a colony.

Charles II kept a stronger Parliament within England than his father could have imagined, and he expanded the Navigation Acts, kept the policy of transportation, and pushed the slave trade.  When news of the new king's planned policies reached Virginia, Berkeley rushed to ask that they be revoked or modified to avoid crushing his colony.

When the Restoration happened, Barbados requested to be made a crown colony, thinking its rights would be better protected.  In return for giving up his proprietary rights, Willoughby was made Barbados's first royal governor.  Suddenly, Barbadians were faced with the first real imposition to their self-government in well over a decade, and the conflict frustrated both Willoughby and the colonists.  Meanwhile, an illegal slave deal with the Spanish ultimately gives Barbados the right to sell slaves to other countries.
