Cruel Governor Harvey betrays the colonists, an Assembly member betrays the Assembly, and the king betrays the colony. In this episode of 'Why Wars Happened,' the focus is on Virginia's transition from company rule to a royal colony under King James. The episode covers the colonists' fight for their rights, Assembly betrayals, and manipulative deals by the monarchy. Governors like Sir Francis Wyatt and Sir George Yeardley worked to preserve democratic ideals. Their efforts set the stage for ongoing conflicts and resistance against tyranny. Plus, we discuss the dark cloud of the next royal governor, Governor John Harvey, who was a cruel, power-hungry ruler. Tune in to explore the complexities of colonial change from a company’s colony to a king’s colony.
