Quote for the Day:

The basis of the powerful politics generated by these civil wars can be summed up in three words: unusual public involvement. Ordinary folk were enmeshed, not just the political elites. The English-speaking communities took their religious and national roles – their task as a chosen people – too seriously for their major internal wars to be anything less than intense.
