You’re right; thing is, that I think that without the Protestant Reformation, the Puritans never would have had the revolution that culminated in beheading Charles I, throwing out the direct legitimate Stuart line, and bringing in the Hanovers if only because they were Protestant.
Just think, all that chaos because Anne Boleyn didn’t put out for Henry VIII.
So what’s so righteous about sticking to the Stuarts.
if dynastic succession is so holy why did we drop it in the US.
“...all that chaos because Anne Boleyn didn’t put out for Henry VIII.”
It was actually the fertility failure with Katherine of Aragon that led to the chaos.
As for Anne Boleyn, she too failed to bear a son, but she was the mother of Elizabeth I, inarguably one of Britan’s greatest monarchs. For her trouble she got her head chopped off.
Nevertheless I agree, an awful lot of the trouble in the world today has it’s roots in Henry VIII, the original “self-actualizer”.,

In the end however, the puritans were the losers of the the 7th century wars not just in england. The Puritans were Calvinists. As it happened the Calvinists were losers all over Europe of the 17th century wars including the French Heugoneats the Dutch Reformed Church, the German Reformed Church, the Swedish reformed Church, the Swiss Reformed Church. The Scottish presbyterians were also Calvinists.. All these churches bailed out of Europe. The Calvinists were a majority of the USA population at the time of the revolution. However their percentages went into quick decline as they were superceded by the baptists and methodists by the mid 19th century.
