About This Quote

Oliver Cromwell was a man who led a rebellion against King Charles I of England. He was forced to abdicate and go into hiding after the revolt was defeated. The people were so angry with him that he had to hide in a farmer's barn because the people were threatening to set it on fire. However, his actions were very important in changing history. His leadership and his ability to rise above his circumstances and be the person he needed to be to change history is an example we should all learn from.
