The English Royal Family of America, from Jamestown to the American Revolution

Front Cover
McFarland, Jan 1, 2003 - History - 261 pages
For about a century and a half after they arrived from England, America's first permanent colonists considered themselves to be English. They were proud of their heritage and loyal to their country. England's royal family truly was the royal family of America--until the American Revolution, when the colonies fought for their independence from the British. The English royals who were also the royals of early America are all covered in this work. It begins with Queen Elizabeth I, as it was during her rule that Sir Walter Ralegh established his settlements in America, and ends with King George III, as it was during his rule that the American Revolution began.
