“Oliver Cromwell (1599-1658) moved from a legitimate to a charismatic role, reversing the course followed by Washington. Yet therewere surface similarities in their careers. Both led military rebellions against English monarchs--Cromwell against Charles I, Washington against George III. Each took local militia--the "train bands" of Cromwell, the colonial levies of Washington--and forged professional armies on a national scale. Each infused a new ethos in his troops--a religious spirit in Cromwell's case, a post-colonial American identity in Washington's.” SpiritCoursesReligiousCareersRolesCasesMilitaryIdentityBandArmyMovedTrainSurfaceScalesLocalsPostsRebellionTroopsSimilarityMonarchsMilitiaForgedCharismaticEthosCromwellAmerican IdentityCharles I Author:Garry Wills
