During the U.S Civil War, England was ruled by a constitutional monarch. Queen Victoria ruled during this period. She ascended the throne when the United Kingdom was already an established constitutional monarchy, in which the king or queen held relatively few direct political powers and exercised influence by the prime minister's advice; but she became the iconic symbol of the nation and empire. ...During the ENGLISH Civil War in 1640's, England was ruled by Oliver Cromwell and his advisors; Cromwell having assumed the title of Lord Protector. It was democratic up to a point, but the vast majority of the population were unrepresented still, and the Puritan attitudes imposed upon the people caused the eventual restoration of the monarchy in 1660.

A resistance force led by Oliver Cromwell opposed King Charles I, partly because he was Roman Catholic and they disapproved of the power he had given to the Catholic Church. In addition, he led a wasteful, decadent lifestyle at a time when many Britons starved. In addition, He was a Stuart, and many Cromwell supporters believed that the Stuarts had not come to the throne legitimately. The result of Cromwell's uprising was an English civil war between the Roundheads, a Protestant group led by Cromwell, and the Cavaliers, led by the king. When the Cavaliers were finally defeated, Cromwell gained supreme power over the government and was called the Lord Protector. He was a cruel, ineffective leader.
