Yesterday, in 1606, King James I issued a charter to the London Company for it to establish colonies in the New World. Little did he reckon the fruits that charter would yield - a violent revolution, founded on the First Principles of liberty - leading to the splintering of Great Britain, as well as the greatest nation the world has ever seen. Those of us basking in liberty today owe no small measure of gratitude to the English monarch of centuries ago.
