Exposing Hidden Feudalism in the Colonies

The medieval feudal order put the Monarch's  at the peak of authority, a position strengthened by taking a trip justices who administered taxes and extended the reach of royal justice. However, the barons' growing disillusionment with this central power structure, especially under King John, led to increasing stress. His overbearing attitude and not successful military campaigns only added fuel to the fire. In response, the barons demanded change, resulting in the Magna Carta of 1215-- a groundbreaking effort to limit the King's power and secure their rights within the world.

As towns and trade started to grow, the old feudal commitments eroded, and a new social order emerged where wealth was significantly determined by commerce rather than land ownership. These modifications marked the beginning of completion of Feudalism, paving the way for the contemporary nation-state. Explore how these modifications in Britain's feudal system resonated throughout the Atlantic in the colonies.
