Summary "History of the English People, Volume VII" by John Richard Green is a historical account written in the late 19th century. This volume details significant events in English history from the period of the Revolution in 1683 to the politics and society of modern England up to 1767. It covers the fall of the Stuarts, the rise of the Hanoverians, and key governmental changes, blending political analysis with the recounting of social upheavals, conflicts, and transformations. The opening of this volume sets the stage for the turbulent events surrounding King Charles II's reign and the subsequent rise of his brother, James II. It discusses the suppression of constitutional opposition under Charles, the public's response to royal tyranny, and the precarious balance of power as tensions escalated post the King's death in 1685. James's policies, which favored Catholics, ignited unrest leading to a chain reaction that would culminate in a national crisis, characterized by rebellions, a divided political landscape, and rising aspirations for religious and civil liberties that would ultimately shape the course of English history.
