Why isn't Oliver Cromwell universally denounced? It seems like he is kind of unambiguously a bad guy. From the little I know about it even people back in those days denounced his campaign against the Irish. He was a hypocrite who denounced the monarchy but acted like the worst kind of monarch in all but name as soon as he got into power. Is the only reason he is not universally viewed as a villain because he was against the monarchy and put some fear into future British rulers?

Joining the masses in hoping you return to this, even if it's no longer the 10 minute format. I enjoyed running through these, honestly my only gripe (which I think got better over time) was slapping the mic for deaths, the lack of processing of that sound is like clapping someones ears (and although it's probably fine, there's a paranoid part of me concerned it might wreck headphone drivers haha)

6: 46 Indentured servants? I think the term you're looking for is unwilling, temporary, forced labor contract signers. Of course, the contracts might as well be toilet paper as the laborers' masters just pretended their -property- workers were almost about to reach their quotas and be freed. for as long as it took for them to die.
So slaves.

The Battle of Aylesbury was an engagement which took place on 1 November 1642, when Royalist forces, under the command of Prince Rupert, fought Aylesbury's Parliamentarian garrison at Holman's Bridge a few miles to the north of Aylesbury. The Parliamentarian forces were victorious, despite being heavily outnumbered.

(7: 44) General George Monck sure looks an awful lot like a certain San Francisco homicide detective named Adrian Monk. Similar curly hair, color of clothing, white collar buttoned high and tight. Perhaps they are related, and any differences in the spelling of their names can be attributed to Ellis Island. ;)

Typically the English think this time period is all about them, ' English Civil War ', for the full story see ' the war of the three kingdoms ', and as you will have gathered from even watching this narrow minded video, Scotland, Ireland and Europe were all involved in this war.

I strongly advise everyone who enjoyed this video to watch the movie Cromwell from 1970. Although slightly simplifying and panygerical towards both Cromwell and Charles Ist, it is nonetheless a fantastic movie in acting, setup, lines and for historical value.

The Committee of Safety? That sounds familiar. Where have I heard a name like that before?
Jump ahead around 130 years later in Paris when the Committee of Public Safety was executing people en masse
Oh yeah. Now I remember. So these guys are full of sht.

Thomas Hobbes. Such a genius.
This government run by a single man with absolute power cannot be allowed to continue. A system where the government is run by a single man with absolute power must overcome this government where a single man has absolute power.

Here's what I don't understand. Why is it called The English Civil War? It's obviously not the first time the English fought one another throughout history so calling it The English Civil War seems strange because there have been more than one.

Fun fact: Charles 1st was the one creating the strength of the Royal Navy, by insisting on having dedicated large men of war, against the Parliament will of using smaller vessels and hired merchant vessels like the Dutch did.

Fun fact: because Virginia was so loyal to the royalists, it was given the nickname the Old Dominion and because of that, the sports teams of the University of Virginia are known as the Cavaliers

Charels II called Virginia, Old Dominion to snub those who rebled against his father because many colonists remained faithful to the crown, thus staying in the dominion of the king.

What annoys me is that every time you see a book titled the Civil War. its always a book about the American civil war, as if that's the only civil war that's ever happened

Next time can you go through the information a little faster? I almost retained some of what you were saying. Humor also works at a slower pace. Just sayin'.

Sounds as if there really isn't all that much difference between the Great Remonstrance and the American Colonial's Declaration of Independence.
