Date: February 9th, 2026 8:39 PM Author: stubborn kink-friendly filthpig The US civil war was settled on the battlefield and it was a lopsided victory by one side. You already know how it's gonna turn out. Furthermore it's lopsided in the sense that no one sympathizes with slave owners today. You can't read original documents from the confederacy and say "yeah, this checks out," whereas during the English Civil War people were genuinely torn.
The English Civil War was preceded by some really nutty activities too, like "ship money." There was a period of like 12 years where Charles I was just confiscating private ships to build his navy. He ignored Parliament and just sole people's ships for years.

We have a much bigger library of first-hand accounts from the English civil war, like IDK what the equivalent of this lady's memoirs would be during the US Civil War, but I'm sure they'd be banned/erased/forgotten:
