Colonists in New England were angry at King James II and Governor Edmund Andros due to the consolidation of the New England colonies into the Dominion of New England, which stripped away local self-governance and traditional rights. Andros enforced unpopular policies, such as a new tax system and restrictions on town meetings, which undermined the colonists' autonomy. Additionally, his heavy-handed governance and enforcement of the Navigation Acts fueled resentment among colonists who felt their economic freedoms were being threatened. This discontent ultimately contributed to the Glorious Revolution in 1688, leading to Andros's overthrow.
