Orton, Meredith Bach, and the Online Distributed Proofreading Team at https://www.pgdp.net "Virginia Under Charles I and Cromwell, 1625-1660" by Wilcomb E. Washburn is a historical account written in the mid-20th century. This work examines Virginia's development during a transformative period marked by significant population growth and shifts in colonial governance, focusing on the socio-economic implications of tobacco cultivation and the dynamics of Indian relations. The book will appeal to readers interested in early American history, particularly those who want to understand the complexities of colonial expansion and the interplay between economic interests and governance. The opening of the book sets the context for the tumultuous era of 1625-1660, where Virginia began experiencing rapid population growth following its transition from a commercial company to royal control under King Charles I. Washburn illustrates how the colony's expansion was largely driven by tobacco cultivation, which dominated the agricultural landscape despite its controversial nature. The early settlers grappled with their relationship with Native American tribes, as the burgeoning Virginian population exerted pressure on indigenous lands. The narrative hints at underlying tensions that would shape the future of colonial Virginia, highlighting the colony's precarious balance between economic ambition and ethical governance as it navigated its growth and conflicts with both Native Americans and the French and Spanish powers.
