Oliver Cromwell: Good or Bad?

Different opinions and viewpoints on Oliver Cromwell’s rise to power and his actions once there.

Some say Oliver Cromwell was a common man with the bravery and courage to fight for his people. He worked on a farm but also was a member of parliament. He was sick off the king abusing his power and rising taxes to high. He trained and formed the new model army. The new model army was made up of common wealth like beggars farmers the were highly equipped ad skilled. Oliver Cromwell put King Charles on trail in the kings own court for treason against his people .the king was executed on may 13th 1649. Oliver Cromwell took the title of lord protector and salary of 100,000 pounds
Oliver Cromwell betray his people .he abused his power by shutting parliament down he made his supporter suffer more by taxes that his former enemy was extorting poor people with because he got money greedy. He made his supporter suffer more by banning Christmas: meals decoration sports may pole dancing getting hair, beard or moustache traveling unless going or coming back from church. He did this because puritans believe in god and the bible strictly they wore plain cloths eat ordinary food they hated entertainment because they thought that entertainment was a form of the evil. Oliver was trying to get people back on the god and off entertainment. Cromwell treated the Irish Catholics very badly because the were catholic and he saw puritans he caused a massacre in witch innocent catholic women and children were killed “It was gods will they deserved it because their religion is catholic. They deserve it because they were rebels fighting against government.” these are all comments from Oliver on this subject he was prejudice towards Catholics.
Despite his obvious skill in battle, many still doubted his capabilities. Some say he won with sheer numbers, and that he didn’t hire from pure skill as he hired his son-in-law. Also many royalists thought killing god’s chosen one as a sin and kept changing their ideas of Cromwell.
I think that Cromwell didn’t think he was being evil when he was as he was pleasing some people while horrifying the other so when somebody pointed something out he said the good thing and then killed them for doubting him. Cromwell had loyal people but at the same time had very bad enemies. Personally I think Cromwell was a VILLAIN.
