The catalyst for the unification of the northern colonies under the Dominion of New England was the administration of King James II, who sought to consolidate control over the colonies to increase royal authority and improve governance. The Dominion, established in 1686, combined several New England colonies and later New York and New Jersey, aiming to centralize power and streamline colonial administration. This move was fueled by concerns over colonial autonomy and the desire to enforce the Navigation Acts more effectively. The Dominion faced resistance and was ultimately dissolved after the Glorious Revolution in 1688.
