Sans-culottes(Dan Hasan)
Bonjour my name Jacque Martin and I am a member of the Sans-culottes. We are the radical left-wing partisans of the lower classes. We are comprised of mostly urban workers, which in fact dominate France. Though we are ill equipped and ill trained we are the heart and sole of the revolutionary army. Without us they would be nothing. We work hard everyday, but is it worth if we have to pay all of the taxes. The first and second estate are greedy and selfish. They will not spare one franc, no they are to busy enjoying the best life has to offer. That is not even the worst of it, the Jacobins have done something that no one will ever forget. They overthrew the current Paris commune and they proclaimed a new revolutionary Commune. Now there is death everywhere. Women, children, and even trapped prisoners have killed. This is madness. How can we hope to save France when all we do is kill its people. I will fight for my country but I don't know if this is the right path.

ReplyDeleteMy fellow revolutionary we are not killing the innocent we are killing the opposition to the Rebellion. We cannot simply expect the tyrannical leaders to change their ways and move on we must eliminate our opposition. Pour Liberté, égalité, fraternité.

ReplyDeleteI completely agree. We are the heart and soul of this country, yet where is the recognition? We deserve everything that the first and second estate have. We however, receive the ugly scraps of which the poor are too proud to accept. We work the hardest, yet remain the lowest. This however does not equate to the atrocious killings of that day. This was wrong. We have ceased the fight on oppression, and begun to fight ourselves.
