Oliver Cromwell: Hero or Villian

Oliver Cromwell was revered by some and reviled by others. (Look up those words - annotate this post!)

Today, you need to decide - was he a hero to those being held down by the king or was he a villain simply continuing the terror he was fighting against with the monarchy. Read through the article and annotate it, of course. On your second time through, complete the t-chart and make your decision.  Jerkface or lionhearted warrior?  You decide!

So, by Friday, you will have 2 paragraphs - first one will tell me about Oliver Cromwell - who was he, what did he do, what did he believe?  In your second paragraph, was he a villain or was he a hero?  Make sure that you back up your decision with historical facts!  DUE FRIDAY!
