The history of the English colonies in America falls between the history of the European colonisation of America (in which Spain is more dominant) and English or British history in which the Civil War and the precedents are seen as more important than the small numbers of colonists who left for New England.
From a Helen Castor's review of England Arise:
"Away with the learning of clerks. Away with it!"
A quote from the town versus gown uprising in Cambridge.
The origins of the Peasant's War stem from a doomed attempt by the elite to retain their privileges after the Black Death but there's a point in the review that rebellion begins when aspirations are stymied either by corruption or situation.
The uprising, no matter what the reprisals, did mean the end of serfdom and the manumission of the participants did lead to the idea that conflict, not collaboration could yield results.
From Norman Stone's review of a biography of Kaiser Wilhelm II:
The whole naval enterprise was mad ... it symbolised the whole history of modern Germany: technical marvels used to ruinous effect.
