A look back at the Jacobites of 18th Century England, and potential parallels to the near-future of American politics.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jacobitism
The end of the Jacobite era, almost 60 years after the the Glorious Revolution.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jacobite_rising_of_1745
A coincidental parallel: Because of the Rising of 1745, "45" was sometimes one of those subtle symbols used to represent Jacobites.
Bonnie Prince Charlie: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Charles_Edward_Stuart
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Battle_of_Culloden
So one problem with talking about the Jacobites is that people naturally get them confused with the Jacobins. Two very different groups, different countries, different turnings even. The Jacobins - not at all the subject here - were from the French Revolution. They took their name from the Jacobin of monks So, late 18th century France, not early 18th century England.
