The major event that resulted in the destruction of the Dominion of New England was the Glorious Revolution of 1688 in England. This political upheaval led to the overthrow of King James II and the installation of William and Mary as co-monarchs. In the colonies, news of this revolution inspired resistance against the Dominion's unpopular governor, Sir Edmund Andros, ultimately leading to his arrest and the dissolution of the Dominion in 1689. As a result, the individual New England colonies were reestablished with greater autonomy.

The leaders of the Dominion of New England angered the colonists by imposing strict, centralized control over the New England colonies, undermining their traditional self-governance. They enforced unpopular laws, such as the Navigation Acts, which restricted trade, and levied high taxes without local consent. Additionally, the dissolution of colonial assemblies and the appointment of unpopular officials further fueled resentment among the colonists, leading to widespread dissatisfaction and resistance.
To increase his control over the American colonies, James II established the Dominion of New England.
In 1685, Sir Edmund Andros was appointed the royal governor of the Dominion of New England. This dominion was an administrative union of English colonies in the Northeast, created to strengthen royal control and streamline governance. Andros's rule was marked by his unpopular policies and authoritarian governance, which led to widespread discontent among the colonists. His administration ended in 1689 following the Glorious Revolution in England, which prompted a backlash against his rule.
