Why did the United States become a stable republic while so many revolutions ended in dictatorship?
The answer lies in two men pivitol to the Revolution: George Washington... and Oliver Cromwell.
A century before George Washington, Cromwell fought a king in the name of liberty, overthrew the monarchy, and then—step by step—became everything he opposed.
Washington would later face many of the same temptations: an unpaid army loyal to him, politicians begging him to stay in power, even a proposal to become king.
This is the story of two revolutionary generals, two republics, and why America stayed on the path of democracy instead of descending into a military junta.
