Summary

"Domestic Annals of Scotland: From the Revolution to the Rebellion of 1745" by Robert Chambers recounts a specific time in Scotland’s history. The book explains society's changes in the fifty years after the Revolution of 1688. Changes in Scotland included evolving societal values of oppressive governance and religious intolerance. The start of the book talks about the Scottish Revolution and King James II's exile to France. Chambers shows the political problems, like how old leaders lost power and new leaders gained power, such as William and Mary becoming the new leaders. The start also shows religious and social problems. For example, people were against church leaders, and many people still supported the exiled king, predicting the later Jacobite rebellions in Scotland.
