New Jersey, in its' short history after 1664, faced absorption by New York, a takeover by the Dutch, division into two colonies and absorption by the Dominion of New England. Having weathered a troubled beginning the two halves of New Jersey find cause to unite once again and create the colony that will become the state we all know and love.

Sir Edmund Andros, Governor-General of the Dominion of New England, a super colonial entity containing what will one day be 6 of the original 13 colonies, faces the oncoming wave of the Glorious Revolution as it crosses the Atlantic breaks upon the American shore. The outcome will shape American History to our present time.

With the era of isolation rapidly closing for the Puritan Colonies, King James II seeks to unifying New England (and beyond) into a massive super-colonial dominion, governed by Sir Edmund Andros without an assembly, in defiance of the Magna Carta.

Governor Phillip Carteret running his cousin's colony of New Jersey faces the humiliation of having the colony taken by the Dutch, and then split into two once back in English hands. Now the Governor of the Colony of East New Jersey Carteret and his successors will have to battle the constant threat of being absorbed by New York, while dealing with a population always teetering on rebellion.
