The English certainly had a habit of generating visceral hatred from an eclectic group of peoples. The Scots, Welsh, Irish, French, Spanish, Indians (both East and West) Indies and indigenous peoples of Australia and North America), West African slaves, and ultimately the early Americans, all had an axe to grind with the English tyrants. The country that brought us representative democracy and the common law, was also responsible for spreading misery around the world. I view November 5th as a missed opportunity.
An assassination for political/religious reasons was a "missed opportunity"?
