[PAR] [TLE] Dominion of New England [SEP] The Dominion of New England in America (1686–89) was an administrative union of English colonies covering New England and the Mid-Atlantic Colonies (except for the Colony of Pennsylvania).  Its political structure represented centralized control similar to the model used by the Spanish monarchy through the Viceroyalty of New Spain.  The dominion was unacceptable to most colonists, because they deeply resented being stripped of their rights and having their colonial charter revoked.  Governor Sir Edmund Andros tried to make legal and structural changes, but most of these were undone and the Dominion was overthrown as soon as word was received that King James had left the throne in England.  One notable change was the introduction of the Church of England into Massachusetts, whose Puritan leaders had previously refused to allow it any sort of foothold. [PAR] [TLE] John Usher (colonist) [SEP] John Usher (1642–1722) was an English colonial administrator.  Born in Boston, he served as treasurer of the Dominion of New England from 1686 until the Boston Revolt of 1689.  After the revolt, dominion governor Sir Edmund Andros was confined in Usher's home.  Usher was twice lieutenant governor of the Province of New Hampshire (1692–1697 and 1702–1715).  As lieutenant governor, he frequently held the reins of power, since the governors (his father-in-law Samuel Allen, and Joseph Dudley) were often absent from the province.  His rule was unpopular.  He died in Medford, Massachusetts in 1722.
