  Dominion of New England, British America  

 


Notes:
The Dominion was formed - with malice - on 25 May 1686 and merged the colonies of Connecticut, Massachusetts Bay, New Hampshire and Rhode Island, together into one large colony. In 1688, the Dominion was expanded to include New York and New Jersey. It lasted until the Rebellion of 1689 (18 Apr 1689) when it was dissolved.
