Hello everybody! Today we learned about the "Reign of Terror". The reign of terror is the nickname given to the period of time that Maximillion Robespierre was the leader of France. Mrs. Separ started of today by recaping the main events during the French Revolution like the Tennis Court Oath, Storming of Bastille, Great Fear, etc. We recieved a worksheet that contained a section for each of the five readings. We were allowed to work in groups or indivisualy. The first document told us things like charges put upon King Louis XVI. For example, treason and bribary. It also explained to us what emigres (French nobility that disassociates with France) are. Reading two helped clarify just how crazy Robespierre was. It was about Robespierre's close friend and advisor who informed Robespierre that he was getting to "power hungry" and that he should calm down. To no surprise, Robespierre's friend was sentanced to the death. Reading three revealed to us some of the goals of Robespierre during the revolution. The main three were obtiaining liberty, equality and enternal justice. It also revealed, that like many of the French people, Robespierre had enlightenment ideas. Reading four showed us two of the laws that Robespierre passed, they were mainly targeting people who were againnst the revlution. The last reading, reading five, told the reasons why Robespierre was sentanced to death. He was eventually put to death which ended the "Reign of Terror".
The next person to go will be Connelly Miller
