Question 7 • (Bergold)WCA 2130 US History 1 1st nine weeks 26-27

Why did Virginia become a royal colony?

Answer
A
There was conflict with local American Indians and poor management by the Virginia Company.
B
The only type of colony at the time was a royal colony.
C
The colonists wanted the king to exercise more control over them.

Explanation

Virginia became a royal colony in 1624 after the Virginia Company struggled to manage the settlement. Conflict with local American Indian groups, along with poor management and financial problems, led the English Crown to revoke the company’s charter and take direct control. The colonists did not ask the king to exercise more control, so choice C is incorrect.
