Description:


Ten Broeck refuses to support Jacob Leisler during Leisler's rebellion. During the Glorious Revolution in England when King James II was overthrown, Protestant Jacob Leisler led a rebellion in New York, replacing Governor Nicholson, and occupying Fort James and taking over the harbor. He briefly commanded all of New York, except Albany, where a resistance held. He would finally occupy it as well in 1690, and by this time his officials were posted in nearly every office of New York. Leisler's Rebellion was put down in 1691 by an official governor appointed by the new king, William of Orange. Even after Leisler's execution, the city was still split into pro-Leislerian and anti-Leislerian factions. The photo is of a statue of Leisler in New York.
