jan 1, 1686 - Creation Of the Dominion Of New England

Description:

James II becomes king and is angry at Massachusetts for taking over Maine, so he decides to take away the royal charters of 5 colonies (New York, Massachusetts, Rhode Island, Connecticut, New Hampshire, and New Jersey) and combines them into one big colony called the Dominion of New England to take power away from Puritan leaders.
