Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book offers a captivating exploration of Rhode Island's history during a tumultuous period, spanning from the early 18th century to the outbreak of the American Revolution. The author meticulously chronicles the colony's struggles for self-governance against the backdrop of shifting power dynamics within the British Empire. The book delves into the complex relationships between Rhode Island and its neighboring colonies, particularly Connecticut and Massachusetts, as they grapple with issues of land ownership, military alliances, and evolving conceptions of colonial autonomy. Central to the narrative is the persistent threat posed by encroaching British authority, embodied in the ambitious figure of Colonel Joseph Dudley, whose relentless pursuit of a centralized vice-royalty for New England challenged the established charter governments. The author highlights the colony's resilience in defending its cherished liberties, demonstrating how Rhode Island's leadership skillfully navigated these turbulent waters to maintain its unique identity and protect its cherished self-governing privileges. The book's rich historical detail and insightful analysis provide a nuanced understanding of the intricate interplay between local politics, imperial ambitions, and the growing sense of independence among the American colonies.
