NEW MAP: Australasia 1808: Rum Rebellion (26 Jan 1808) https://buff.ly/2G28Smq In 1806 William Bligh was made Governor of New South Wales. However, Bligh proved no more popular in this role than he had as Captain of the Bounty two decades earlier and in 1808 was deposed by the military after he attempted to crack down on dubious activities in the colony, most notably the rum trade. NSW would remain under military rule until 1810, when Major-General Lachlan Macquarie arrived from Britain to officially replace Bligh as governor. #australasia #history #welovemaps #map #1800s #1808 #australia #australianhistory #dutcheastindies #williambligh #january #january26 #rumrebellion #newsouthwales #newzealandhistory #tasmania #britishempire #maps #napoleonicwars #colonialaustralia #historybuff #newmap #historyteacher #historygeek #historynerd #worldhistory #pacifichistory #historymaps #historicalatlas #hmsbounty (at Sydney, Australia) https://www.instagram.com/p/BtUUiccAvQq/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=blcbcx9j2zxq
