Cromwellian Conquest

Famous quotes containing the words cromwellian and/or conquest:

“When some one remarked that, with the addition of a chaplain, it would have been a perfect Cromwellian troop, he observed that he would have been glad to add a chaplain to the list, if he could have found one who could fill that office worthily. It is easy enough to find one for the United States Army. I believe that he had prayers in his camp morning and evening, nevertheless.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)

“The great social adventure of America is no longer the conquest of the wilderness but the absorption of fifty different peoples.”
