Years: 1689 - 1689
Andros' imposition of Episcopalian worship in the Old South Meetinghouse in Boston, his vigorous enforcement of the Navigation Acts, his requirement that landholders take out new land patents, and his limitations upon town meetings and rights of local taxation all arouse sharp resentment in colonial America.
When news of the overthrow of James reaches Boston, the colonists revolt, deposing Andros and imprisoning him, eventually returning him to England.
