The queen's ministers cluster round her bedside, urging her to name her successor—something she had stubbornly resisted throughout her reign. She dies shortly afterwards and the throne of England passes peacefully from Tudor to Stuart. Or so we've been led to believe... But, as enthralling new research shows, this is not what happened. In the weeks and months that followed, history was literally re-written on the orders of James VI to hide the truth.

Founded by James Oglethorpe on February 12, 1733, the Georgia colony was envisioned as a unique social welfare experiment. Administered by twenty-one original trustees, the Georgia Plan offered England's "worthy poor" and persecuted Christians an opportunity to achieve financial security in the New World by exporting goods produced on small farms.
