So the savagery of Cromwell's army in Ireland is deniable. I have read recent scholarship about how his army was less savage towards Irish people than the army of the Irish catholic Confederates (more inclined to buy things from locals, less inclined to rape and pillage).

Reminder that the Los Angeles federal courthouse has a statue of Abraham Lincoln where he's a shirtless young stud suggestively tugging at his waistband like a Sports Illustrated swimsuit model: pic.twitter.com/32bjqEERYi— Zack Stentz (@MuseZack) February 20, 2019

Really nice rev by Keith Thomas on an odd book on Cromwell, which has many descriptions of the English land (and sky) scape.

Highly ironic to revive this on Juneteenth in order to give a shout out to Cromwell.
