About the author at the end of this article:
Peter Cliffe, a retired corporate administrator, lives in Hertfordshire, England. He became interested in the Civil War while working with a multinational firm in this country. You'd think they'd know the difference between the Revolutionary War and the Civil War?
Nice story. I'm sure there were many more unsung heroes and heroines in this war that are only known to God.

From their perspective, it was. To the victors go the rights to write the history. The American “Civil War” is a case in point.

I think the Brits call it the War of American Rebellion.
But there WAS an English Civil War, too. It was about the Middle Class and was aided by the Reformation in the years between 1638-60.
Anyone besides me realize that the news today is bringing us back to our history books?
