The Lower Houses of Assembly in the Southern Royal Colonies, 1689-1776

In this study, Greene describes the rise of the lower houses in the four southern royal colonies—Virginia, North Carolina, South Carolina, and Georgia—in the period between the Glorious Revolution and the American War for Independence. It assesses the consequences of the success of the lower houses, especially the relationship between their rise to power and the coming of the American Revolution.Originally published in 1963.A UNC Press Enduring Edition — UNC Press Enduring Editions use the latest in digital technology to make available again books from our distinguished backlist that were previously out of print.
