It was now exacted by the admission of the Royalists themselves, with the object not of maintaining a navy, but of furnishing the kingdom with supplies which might be increased at his discretion to any amount, and expended at his discretion for any purpose.
ChipNARRATOR
The whole nation was alarmed and incensed.
ChipNARRATOR
John Hampton, an opulent and well-born gentleman of Buckinghamshire, highly considered his own neighbourhood, but as yet little known to the kingdom generally, had the courage to step forward, to confront the whole power of the government, and take on himself the cost and risk of disputing the prerogative to which the king lay claim.

ChipNARRATOR
Abuse after abuse disappeared without a struggle.
ChipNARRATOR
If a small minority of the representative body wished to retain the Star Chamber and the High Commission, that minority, overawed by the enthusiasm and by the numerical superiority of the reformers, contented itself with secretly regretting institutions which could not, with any hope of success, be openly defended.
ChipNARRATOR
At a later period the Royalists found it convenient to antedate the separation between themselves and their opponents, and to attribute the act which restrained the King from dissolving or proroguing the Parliament, the Triennial Act, the impeachment of the Ministers, and the attainder of Stratford, to the faction which afterwards made war on the King.
ChipNARRATOR
But no artifice could be more disingenuous.

Robert LindHOST
Oliver Cromwell was an unassuming Puritan, and it's really important to note that he is a Puritan, because he is going to lead a ragtag military so to speak against the british royal military and he will defeat them that is going to give him a lot of standing that's going to give him a lot of power and he is going to later on use that standing in that power to essentially become a dictator in england but that's a podcast later on we're going to deal with that later on today what we got to do is finish up with what happens with charles the first But Oliver Cromwell, just know that he is the reason why the Royalists are going to be defeated.

Roger MelinNARRATOR
But the attitude of the great majority of the Americans had been clearly demonstrated by a resolution passed in the legislature of Virginia on December 17th, 1782, to the effect that all demands for the restitution of confiscated property were wholly inadmissible.
Roger MelinNARRATOR
Even some of the Loyalists had begun to realize that a revolution which had touched property was bound to be permanent, and that the American commissioners could no more give back to them their confiscated lands than Charles II was able to give back to his father's Cavaliers the estates they had lost in the Civil War.
Roger MelinNARRATOR
The American commissioners agreed, finally, that no future confiscations should take place, that imprisoned Loyalists should be released, that no further persecutions should be permitted, and that creditors on either side should meet with no lawful impediment to the recovery of all good debts in sterling money.

John BatchelorHOST
Is that where Stateswides came from? Was he making it up or was it a rhetoric in the state houses?
David S. ReynoldsGUEST
Well, I haven't seen it before that, but, yeah, I mean, George Balcombe, Nathaniel Beverly Tucker, was from distant past, a Cavalier family, and he basically misses the vibrant early Cavalier culture, and he tries to kind of revive it in his novel, in this novel, and other novels.
David S. ReynoldsGUEST
And in my book, I discuss George Balcombe and a good number of other novels by Southern... writers, many of them like Tucker descended from the Cavaliers, who actually succeed in romanticizing this somewhat defunct old style Cavalier culture, so that a new kind of resuscitated Cavalier identity spreads throughout Virginia and the South.
