Question

the restoration in england did not bide well for virginia as acts passed by charles iis parliament went against the commercial and agricultural interest of virginia. the parliamentary and legal injustices that were given out to virginia between 1660 and 1676 under charles ii caused widespread resentment in the colony. moreover, the vast tracts of land that were granted by the english sovereign to his favourites aggravated the situation. the royal governor sir william berkeley and nathaniel bacon became opponents, and the split leadership exacerbated an already difficult situation: the instability at the top in the face of the native american threat in spring 1676. the intellectual condition of virginia was further compromised by the religious intolerance practiced by a section of its inhabitants. quakers, baptists, presbyterians and all those who dissented from the episcopal church were discriminated against and were fined for detected trespasses. the feudalistic tilt in social relations along with the narrow factional emphasis in matters of religion negatively affected the growth of a socio - cultural atmosphere. hence the first colonial period in virginia saw the sparse offshoots of a limited literary consciousness struggling to emerge and survive in an inhospitable and largely uncongenial atmosphere. 4. question: what events caused added strife to colonists’ life and a growing resentment towards british imperialism?
