Now let's continue with the Colonies around the turn of the century (i.e., the late 1600s and early 1700s).  Don't memorize dates, but do keep time periods separate in your mind.  In the 1600s most of colonies were just getting started (except for [[Georgia]], which was the only colony founded in the 1700s rather than the 1600s).  In the 1700s, the colonies (except for Georgia) had long been established and were just growing stronger.

Let's proceed now.  Upheaval occurred in England in 1688.  The people there overthrew [[King James II]], who was Catholic.  His daughter Mary and her husband William of Orange took the throne and reinstated Protestantism, and adopted the [[English Bill of Rights]].  A century later this would inspire the American Bill of Rights.
