>Did the good guys win the English civil war?
Yes. It was a starting point of the enlightenment. Without French intellectuals finding refuge in a parliamentary England, who knows what could've happened.

Charles was a fucking bastard.

>Which side would you have fought for?
None, I'd keep my head down and go to the new world, but if I had to pick, parliament.

>Did the English Civil War have any impact on the later American Civil War?

Care to explain? William & Mary and the House of Hanover raised Britain to empire status.

Why he was a movie protagonist

I'd say it was a good thing the roundheads won, but an equally good thing the Restoration happened.

I am still undecided about the glorious revolution.
