feelings and attitude people had during the french revolution
![]() Peasants were especially angry as they opposed the draft and remained devoutly Catholic. Resistance to the Revolution was so strong that civil war broke out. After fierce fighting, government forces won. The people were mainly angry and defiant during the french revolution as seen in the fact that they mastered so many people against the government to be able to cause a civil war but after fierce fighting, government prevailed and the government, feeling afraid of a second civil war was quick to wipe out anyone who criticized the Revolution, many executions soon occurred drew crowds and became a daily activity. The government did not last long and soon Napoleon rose to power, his battles for France soon increased feelings of nationalism. People developed a sense of identity, unity, and allegiance to France from all over Europe. But Napoleon was soon to lose control of his empire as Russia fought with France and overthrew Napoleon. However, Napoleon went into hiding and striked back to take back his France, and although a large number of citizens hated him, he still managed to retain a large number of supporters but this still did not help him when he was defeated by the Duke of Wellington. Thus, the feelings and attitude the people had at those times were anger, defiance and hatred. |
