This war had so much to do with freedom and the genesis of law as Americans know it. The idea of a constitutional republic and the rule of law beat so strongly in the puritan forefathers that it can be seen clearly portrayed here. It is not simply protestantism v. catholicism. Rather the rule of law v. arbitrary rule.

Good Riddance!

As Australian of Irish / Scottish heritage I can not stand the monarchy. I long for the day when Australia's head of state will be an Australian & not the Queen of England!

Cromwell is my man, he beheaded Charles Stuart, a traitor and a degenerate tyrant. Some day England will again be a republic and the house of Saxe-Coburg and Gotha thrown out. I relish that day...

There is very little if any mention of Cromwell's invasion of Ireland, the four or more years spent there subjecting the Catholics and populating it with Protestants etc etc. It was another 130 odd years before Cromwell was revered as a hero by the English.

@wasatchhike Like fuck. Cromwell banned Christmas, put people in jail for dancing, ruled as a dictator (more power than the king ever had), and killed thousands of innocent Irish for being Catholic.
Charles I was a good king. He continued his dad's noble pursuits of creating a unified Britain and tolerance between Catholics and Protestants. And parliament was not the noble democratic institution it is today. Back then, like 2% of the pop could vote, and they were nobemen greedy asswipes.

I would die before I let my king be murdered.

Wow man, Cromwell is a fucking asshole.

The main weakness of the US presidential system is that the chief of state and iconic figure (the picture on the wall) of the Republic is the man who makes policy and runs the government.This confuses people. If you attack the President because of his policies and running of the government, they are offended because they think you are criticizing the USofA.Brits think you're attacking them if you attack \The Queen, but you can say anything about the PM and they deal with the points rationally.

@ChaosDynamics Better than that of a constitutional republic. As you know there are many republics that have a figure head president. I don't see that as necessarily better than a figurehead king or queen.

You're racist comments are offensive, and had nothing to do with the English Civil War. This was Catholicism vs Protestantism. I think you would want to comment on WW2, and how much you love hitler.

Your view of English history is whiggish. The idea that English constitutional evolution is a straight line of development from Magna Carta is "pariscoping" history. This approach was debunked in the 1950's.
