To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
The chief cause of this was that the Puritan element, which formed the backbone of the opposition in Parliament, had also gained the ascendency in the Virginia Company. Nor did James like the action of the company a few years before in extending representative government to the colonists. The result was the loss of the charter. Virginia became a royal colony and so it continued to the war of the Revolution. But the change had little effect on the colony, for Charles I, who soon came to the thro...ne, was so occupied with troubles at home that he gave less attention to the government of Virginia than the company had done, and popular govern ment continued to flourish. Of the six thousand people who had come from England before 1625 only one-fifth now re mained alive, but this number was rapidly augmented by immigration. Governor Yeardley died in 1627, and John Harvey, a man of little ability or character, became gov ernor. Harvey kept the Virginians in a turmoil for some years, but the colony was now so firmly established that his evil influence did not greatly affect its prosperity.
