"Radicals"

Since the following appendices of Leigh Whaley's Radicals: Politics and Republicanism in the French Revolution might be of some use or at least interest to others than [personal profile] nirejseki, who requested them, I've decided to post them here.


Don't ask me how appendix six turned out to be so much smaller than all the others. -__-; I hope it's readable, at least.

I think they did it that way because Belgium is now a profession Robert is listed under "lawyers" and he didn't do anything else noteworthy. But give the guy a break; he wasn't the youngest of them, but he was still a good five years younger than Maxime, for example.

On the one hand, you have a point; on the other, aside from being conservative scumbags, they *were* fomenting civil war, so I would say they pretty much deserved what they got. And anyway, though they would have been welcomed into the Thermidorian regime, many of them wouldn't have been happy there either, since for the most part they weren't right-wing because they were corrupt, but rather, on principle.
