Edmund Andros was appointed as the governor of the Dominion of New England by King James II in 1686. Under his rule, he enforced the policies of the Crown, including the promotion of the Church of England, which led to friction with the predominantly Puritan population of New England. Andros' administration attempted to consolidate control and diminish local autonomy, which ultimately contributed to his unpopularity and the eventual Glorious Revolution in 1688 that ended his governorship.
