In this episode of Why Wars Happened History Podcast, we go into the heated clashes between Virginia's Assembly and Governor Howard. After Howard tried to strip the Assembly of their powers, including hearing court appeals and picking their own record keeper, chaos ensued. The Assembly's secret plea to the king backfired big time, leading to severe consequences for its members. We draw parallels to the strict rule of Governor Berkeley, and highlight the Assembly's journey towards independence, including their pushback against outrageous fees. The episode also introduces the more progressive reign of King William, whose actions laid the groundwork for the spirit of American liberty.

Tensions rose between the Assembly and the new Governor Howard until he finally got the king to dismiss the entire Assembly. Issues between the Assembly and the governor continued after this with the governor and king further stripping away the Assembly's autonomy.

In this episode of Why Wars Happened History Podcast, we unravel the turbulent governorship of Lord Culpeper in Virginia. Used to a life of luxury in England, Culpeper struggled to address the colony's poverty crisis caused by plummeting tobacco prices and restrictive Navigation Acts. The colonists' frustration boiled over into tobacco riots after the king repeatedly blocked their attempts to fix the situation. Culpeper's lackluster governance and harsh crackdowns only fueled more disorder, leading to his eventual dismissal.
