Cromwell lacked any official training in military tactics but his natural ability to lead and train his men and his moral authority made him a really important military figure. On August 22nd, 1642, when Charles raised his standard at Nottingham officially declaring the start of the English Civil War, Cromwell was on the side of the Parliamentarians or “Roundheads”. While serving in the Military, Cromwell was involved in a lot of military warfare, which included the Battle of Gainsborough, Battle of Marston Moor, Battle of Newbury II, Battle of Naseby, Battle of Langport, Battle of Preston, Battle of Dunbar, and also the Battle of Worcester.

Now imagine this boy as a man not only letting down his family, but the entire country of America. This man was Benedict Arnold, who was an American General and who became a traitor during the American revolution.
