What bad thing did Oliver Cromwell do?

Answer 1

Here is a list of the bad things Oliver Cromwell did:- - In September 1649, Cromwell's 12,000-strong forces stormed Drogheda, north of Dublin. His troops massacred nearly everyone in the garrison and the town - women and children alike. Cromwell justified this as the "righteous judgment of God upon these barbarous wretches". - A month later Wexford suffered the same fate and both incidents, justified by the British as militarily necessary to subdue the population, still figure strongly in Irish republican history. - He was heavily involved in the first execution of a monarch - the execution of Charles I. - He abolished Parliament, when during the Civil War he claimed to be protecting them. - He imprisoned the leaders of the Levellers, and refused to let him go, even when presented with a petition with over 10,000 signatures on it.
