common sense article and later the declaration of independence. During the war, the colonists were
divided into two groups, Loyalists and patriots, the loyalists were people who want to be ruled under
the Britain regime, while the patriots were people who want to be independents.

Charles I while the royal family got exiled to France. Oliver Cromwell assumed the title of lord
protector, and Britain becomes a republic under his reign. After his death Cromwell's son couldn't run
the country, so he resigned. Therefore, the royal family was invited back to rule England as a kingdom
