Virginia's beloved new governor is off protecting the king in England's civil war, but another massacre in Virginia forces him back to the colony. He leads quests against the attackers and becomes a hero of the people. This episode explores the power dynamics and conflicts in 17th-century Virginia, detailing the colonists' initial overthrow of an unpopular governor, the subsequent appointment of Sir William Berkeley, and the turbulent events that followed. From bloody massacres by natives to the colonists' staunch loyalty to the English crown during England's civil war, we unravel how the colony navigated through periods of crisis and rebellion. Discover how these experiences paved the way for future assertions of colonial power and set the stage for a dramatic showdown with England post-war. Tune in for a deep dive into Virginia's early struggles and the resilience of its people.
