How Did the Battle of Culloden Change British and American History

The battle of Culloden occurred on April 16, 1746 and was the last pitched battle in Britain. Effectively, it defeated and put an end to a series of Jacobite uprisings that had been ongoing since the 1688 following the Glorious Revolution, which put an end to the male-line succession of the House of Stuart on the British throne. The Jacobites were a group who wanted to restore the Stuart line, who had become Catholic, and many of the supporters were Scots, particularly the highland regions of Scotland.
