Cousin s Wars
|
|
|
In his book, The Cousins’ Wars, Kevin Phillips discusses how religion, politics, and war influenced three different conflicts. The English Civil War, the American Revolution, and the American Civil Wars “seeded” each other and led England to be Great Britain, a dominant world power (Phillips xi). ... In 1533, Henry VIII established the Church of England, abolishing the Pope’s power as an “intermediary,” and creating a symbol to represent the English. (Phillips 8) Scotland also became a protestant area with John Knox’s founding of Presbyterianism; consequently, the protestant symbol of England grew even stronger (Phillips 10). ... Due to “anti-Spanish motivation,” or Protestant England’s rivalry against Spain because it was heavily Catholic, England acquired much land in a rush to get it before Spain. ...
In the mid-seventeenth century, England’s Stuart Dynasty was slowly trying to convert the country back to Catholicism. ... In 1688, England’s paranoia about a Catholic dynasty became too much, and English political leaders then called William of Orange. ... Phillips believes that the English Civil War and the Glorious Revolution are both are both civil wars and revolutions.
