How did evolving definitions of freedom cause conflict between Great Britain and America? The Royal Governor of Virginia wielded great influence over the colony of Virginia, and the Palace was meant to project British authority and wealth. Feel the tension between the rulers and the ruled in this revolutionary time as the British government's authority was increasingly questioned.
