The Erie Canal connected Albany on the Hudson with the Great
Lakes at Buffalo. The Erie Canal actually originated at New York and it runs
for almost 363 miles connecting several places. This canal has now become a
part of the New York State Canal System. This was of immense importance before
as it connected New York, the Buffalo lakes with the Atlantic Ocean. In the
years gone by water transport was of immense importance as well the cheapest
kind of transport available. In those days this canal was highly important to
all people.
<span>The English Civil Wars (1642-1651) stemmed from conflict between Charles I and Parliament over an Irish insurrection. The first war was settled with Oliver Cromwell’s victory for Parliamentary forces at the 1645 Battle of Naseby. The second phase ended with Charles’ defeat at the Battle of Preston and his subsequent execution in 1649. Charles’ son, Charles, then formed an army of English and Scottish Royalists, which prompted Cromwell to invade Scotland in 1650. The following year, Cromwell shattered the remaining Royalist forces and ended the “wars of the three kingdoms,” though Charles II eventually ascended to the throne in 1660.</span>
