Remembering Oliver Cromwell

Solution Preview

Dear Student,
I have created a 2-part solution to your problem as the details that are asked for by your tutor/professor for this particular problem cannot be concisely and answered in detail in mere 800 words alone. Factor in, for instance, the need for chronology and that alone would require a 2,000 word paper. I created this solution to be as concise but as comprehensive as possible. The first part as an intro to Cromwell which is asked of you in the enumerated 'needs' for the essay. The second & third part accounts for much of the required perspective on the work by Gaunt & a presentation of opinions according to what Gaunt presented in his work. This solution is written in APA format which makes it expandable as most of the resources used were presented in the reference section. I have separated a mini-chronology from the paper that accounts for much of Cromwell's Life from a historical perspective. You can, if you like, only concentrate on the last 2 sections of the Essay in Part 1 to concentrate your comparison to your present paper although, I believe the intro is rather essential after reviewing the necessary details you must account for according to your professor/tutor. Attached is the word version of the solution.

Because of his religious he has gained the 'hatred' of the Irish due to his policies & heavy handed incursions during the Irish Military Campaigns from 1649-1650. His prowess as a military leader is all the more impressive due to the fact that he was not trained in military tactics at all whatsoever. Although his family is seen as part of the landed gentry, they were not remarkably well-to-do and education-wise, compared to his contemporaries, Cromwell left Sidney-Sussex College in Cambridge without a degree. It is his connection with the Puritans through the network of Oliver St. John that brought him to the attention of the earls of Warwick & Holland that slowly but surely gained him supporters and the foothold to recognition politically. His association with them also contributed to his 'spiritual awakening', whereby he displayed that sense of hatred of all 'Catholic Beliefs & Ceremonies' & the admonition that he sees it his mission to relieve 'England of Sin'; these contributed to the manner by which he conducted ...
