Pamphlet England Political Tyranny 1650s Overton

description Killing No Murder Overview

Killing No Murder is a political pamphlet published in 1657 under the name of Edward Sexby, a former soldier and agitator in the New Model Army. The text controversially argues that assassinating Oliver Cromwell, then the Lord Protector of England, was a lawful and moral act necessary to liberate the country from his perceived tyranny. Sexby justified his position by drawing upon historical and philosophical arguments regarding tyrannicide and the preservation of natural rights. The pamphlet deeply threatened Cromwell's government, leading to Sexby's subsequent arrest.
