The Stuarts got the last laugh and the opportunity to give the finger to Cromwell and Parliament from beyond the grave.

Fun fact. Part of the enduring tensions between the North and South that ultimately contributed to the American Civil War. Ultimately was leftover tensions from the English Civil War.

After the English Civil War was ended. Huge influxes of Englishmen came to the Colonies. Cavaliers IE the supporters of the Stuart’s largely settled in the Southern Colonies. Parliamentarians IE supporters of Cromwell and parliament largely settled in the Northern Colonies. Which heavily influenced regional cultural development.
