After Charles II's father, Charles I, was executed during the English Civil War, England became a republic for a few years under the leadership (and widely known as a dictatorship) of Oliver Cromwell. This harsh rule lasted about 7 years, and, after Cromwell died (and his son failed at taking his place), political instability led to the restoration of the monarchy, with Charles II taking the throne. He was then known as the "Merry Monarch" because 1) of the relief of the dictatorship of Cromwell being over and 2) he was willing to consent to Parliament's wishes in fear of another revolution.

First you have to understand what happened in March 5, 1770 a British soldier got in an argument with a colonist then the soldier struck him, people started to gather and then yell at the soldier call him names and then they started taunting him then other soldiers started shotting people in the crowd instantly 3 people died including a salior Crispus Attucks then two days later 2 more people die. My opinion on the topic is it was sad and tragic that it was all because of an argument that got five people shot and killed.
