James' popularity with the colonists allowed him to "<span>stand against the wave of revolutions long after other colonies had rebelled" although it should be noted that he wasn't able to "escape" all of the uprisings. </span>
He helped by placing a huge emphasis on education and helped open numerous new schools so even commoners could get an education which was often previously reserved for elites. He also allowed the church to come back to france which was good for people since a high amount of people were religious but hid that in order to not get punished.
July 4, 1776 it is important date (If your in America)
Because thats when the U.S became its own country and not part of Britain
