We examine the brief and ineffective rule of his son, Richard Cromwell, the Restoration of Charles II, and the Virginia Assembly's decision to reinstate the well-loved Governor Berkeley. Despite the opportunity to assert independence, the colonists remained loyal to England amidst the enforcement of the Navigation Acts.
