For all the oppression and worse
which the first two Stuarts imposed
upon the colony, the Cavaliers of Nir-
einia were loyal to the King and never
faltered in their disapproval Of the
Commonwealth. Under Cromwell they
were better treated than under any
Stuart, which means that they were
chiefly left alone, not meddled with or
oppressed, and permitted to work out
their own destiny. Yet they chung TO

Commonwealth flag waving over them.
The experience Of those eight years

them in governmental affairs and
taught them self-reliance, patience and
stubbornness to oppose oppression.
Having tasted the sweets of freedom,
they were i'll prepared ever again TO
tolerate injustice and misgovernment.'
The sequel was only what might have
been expected. When Charles II came
20 the throne he acted with what we
may call characteristic "Stuartism.
Gratitude for, or even recognition OF,
Virginia's loyalty was unknown TO hun.
Instead. he overwhelmed the Old Do
minion with injustice and oppression as
ruthlessly as though II had been the
source and fountain of the Puritan re-
bellion. Crushing duties on tobacco
and RESTRICT ms upon trade brought the

Then came the really critical PERIOD
in colonial history, when for several
years the House of Burgesses contend

the Crown. and ultimately won the
fight by retaining local authority over
taxation. After that came the Orange
