1 Jan 1689 Jahr - 1689 Andros Imprisoned

Beschreibung:

1689
Early in the year, the colonists receive word that William of Orange seized power in England in November 1688, dethroning James II. The colonists have the pleasure of imprisoning Andros and some of his henchmen, and later send them back to England.

At the insistence of William and Mary, Boston gets an unwanted Anglican church when King’s Chapel is built at the corner of School and Tremont Streets, taking land from King's Chapel Burying Ground where the earliest Puritan settlers are buried.
