The Dominion of New England was an attempt by King Jame II in an attempt to centralize the New England and Mid-Atlantic colonies into one administrivia union. It was highly unpopular with the colonies, especially when Governor Edmund Andros came into power and tried to change some legal and structural changes in the union. However, the Dominion came to an end when cities began to revolt against Andros, and when James II was overthrown in the Glorious Revolution.
One notable effect of the Dominion was in its aftermath, when previously Puritan Colonies such as New Haven and Plymouth didn't have charters beforehand, and were merged with other colonies such as Massachusetts.
What if this attempt at centralization of the English colonies never happened? What if there was no Dominion of New England.
