Arrests made during the pro-Napoleon riot in Montpellier

Context: After the defeat and abdication of Napoleon in 1815, the new government made favor of “Bonapartism” a crime and made a series of arrests across the country known as the “White Terror”.

From Napoleon: A Symbol for an Age: A Brief History with Documents, Rafe Blaufarb

———

Charge Sheet against Suspected Bonapartists (January 3, 1816):

Roquier (soldier): said of His Royal Highness the Duke d'Angoulême: “Is that monkey coming? I don't give a damn about our rulers....”

Roche (merchant): repeatedly stated that Bonaparte would soon return....

Etienne (no profession given): wore a blue and white cockade with red thread.

Balp (landowner): said the government is like a bucket going up and down, that having changed 10 times in 19 years, it might well change a dozen more times....

Barban (deserter): cried “Long Live the Emperor” in a billiard hall and insulted the King.

Dejean (ex-soldier): said the triumphal arch erected at Meze for the visit of His Royal Highness the Duke d'Angoulême should be his gallows.

The Quatrefages brothers (court record-keeper): illicit nocturnal meetings at odd hours in their house....

Bertrand (surgeon, intern at the hospital): [found in possession of] a mysterious letter full of effervescences and four other documents, all contrary to Bourbon government and favorable to the usurper.

Carra (wife of Cavanon) and her brother: said the mail of November 26 had not arrived because the Parisians were revolting against the Bourbons....

Bouchoni (no profession): limitless attachment to the usurper's government; participated actively in the unfortunate events that occurred in Montpellier on June 27 and July 2, and signed an innkeeper's register under a false name.

Pau: under an arrest warrant for the disastrous events of Montpellier....

Campan (special commissioner of the usurper): held secret nocturnal meetings, criminal correspondence, and attempts or plots to overthrow the royal government....

Vivier (ex-mayor of Pignans) and son: abuse of power and embezzlement... during the interregnum; moreover, denounced by public rumor.

Favier (second-lieutenant in the Sete customs house) and Fleuran (sergeant in the Angoulême regiment): seditious speech against the government....

Guruoalsac (half-pay officer): peddling seditious writings in suspicious meetings, abuse, vexation, and excesses against citizens.

Fleuri (wife of Clos): cried “Long Live the Emperor” and “To the Devil with all royalists, may the King burn in hell with them.”

Context about the arrest sheet by the author:

‘In late 1815 they rioted in Montpellier to protest the visit of the Duke d'Angoulême (1775-1844), who had led resistance to Napoleon’s return in the south of the country and had encouraged the White Terror. The rising failed, but it induced Bourbon police to arrest hundreds of people on political charges. The following document, a charge sheet drawn up on January 3, 1816, just days after the riot, gives a sense of how the Bourbon authorities construed the crime of “Bonapartism.”’

It is not at all clear that the late eighteenth century was an unprecedently revolutionary age. Human history is full of revolution--not to mention war, urban riot, rural jacquerie, and all other kinds of upheaval. These were all part of the American, French, Haitian, and Latin American revolutions, but they are not what make those revolutions distinctive or historically significant. Kings had been overthrown before, aristocracies had been toppled, the poor and oppressed had risen in violent revolt, empires had crumbled, and new polities had arisen upon their ruins. None of this is what makes the four great revolutions truly great. What sets them apart from all of the other revolutions in world history and makes them especially significant is their ideological content. There is no doubt that these revolutions were full of violence and trauma. There is no doubt that they wrought enormous social change, much of it unforeseen by the revolutionaries themselves. But beneath the Sturm und Drang of revolutionary events was a common ambition to create a new kind of polity, never before seen in world history, based upon equal citizenship, uniform law, the “privateness” of property, and the “publicness” of political power. This republican vision was the great, lasting legacy of the Age of Revolution.

I’m assuming that studying law, involves learning about the history of law. I’m interested to know how the legal system has changed over the centuries. (Hopefully this isn’t too much of a complicated question to answer)

Oh boy, so so much. Basically every course we have starts with a historical study of how this specific type of law started. History of law is one of the three specialties we can choose, but it’s not mine. There are literal libraries of material so I couldn’t possibly answer your question exhaustively, but I can give a couple examples to illustrate the kind of changes that can occur.

First, from contract law. What makes a contract binding ? If you’re from modern times, you might say “that’s the fact that two people write a document and sign it”. But here’s the thing : you don’t sign something with the cashier everytime you go shopping, yet you give them money and they let you leave the store with your items without having you arrested. That’s because the essence of the contract is not any kind of formality, but the fact that two parties agreed to make their agreement binding. The store agrees to sell this item for a certain sum of money, and you agree to give that certain sum of money in exchange for this specific item. Now when the object of the transaction (to use the most basic type of contract) is bigger, law might require the parties make a written document, and even sign it in presence of a specific official (a notary for a real estate sale for example). But that’s so the parties can more easily prove the contract ; the real contract happens because the buyer made an offer and the seller agreed to this offer. That’s the doctrine of consensus. At its core, a contract is two will coming in unison to make certain terms binding.

But here’s the thing : it wasn’t always like this. In the Middle Ages, and up to the Revolution, contract law was governed by the doctrine of formalism. Formalism is the exact opposite of consensus : a contract isn’t binding because the parties agreed it should be, but because they accomplished a series of codified actions which signified the contract happened. Now remember, mass literacy wasn’t a thing back then, so this action couldn’t be to write and sign a document. So the actions required to make a contract binding were symbolic. For example, if you sold a piece of land, you would bring the buyer a lump of soil from this land, symbolically passing its ownership to them. Since there’s no written proof, witnesses were crucial so these actions had to be public. One story we were told in college was of a real estate transaction between two lords : one of the guards went to grab a young boy from the nearby village and brought him to the field that was being sold, and they made the boy witness the transaction and then the guard slapped the boy to make sure he would remember what he’d witnessed his entire life. Needless to say, this system was horrendous. There was no conclusive way to prove your right, as even witnesses were easily bought. That was a mess.

Enters the French Revolution, and then the Napoleonian civil code (which we still use today !). Aside from the political upheaval, at the same time law underwent a complete overhaul thanks to people like Portalis. The big idea regarding contracts was that citizens were capable of making their own legal decisions, and that their will should prevail over some complicated formalism. That’s when the doctrine of consensus appeared. From then on, no symbolic gifting of soil. You simply had two parties agree to something, and that meant a contract existed. Obviously, it didn’t hurt that soon people were able to make written agreements, but at its core, the entire way people thought about contracts shifted. So everytime you don’t have to bring witnesses with you to shop for groceries, remember to thank the revolutionaries.

Here’s a second example, this one from public law : what is a kingdom ? More specifically, what’s a kingdom in relation to its king ? France was a monarchy until… well, you know, but from Louis Capet to Charlemagne, it was quite a journey, and in a way, something as revolutionary as the revolution itself took place centuries earlier. See, in the times of Charlemagne, the King was nothing more than the owner of the Kingdom. He could rent parts of it, buy and sell parts of it, divide it between its heirs, the same way a landlord can buy, sell and divide their property. That’s why in the middle ages what would become “countries” changed shape so often : there was no fixed identity to any of them. A kingdom was simply the sum of all the land the king had been able to acquire. But by the 11th century, that became a problem : because the kingdom of France was divided at every succession, it had become ridiculously small ; it was barely bigger than the Parisian region. The King of France was much less powerful than the lords of Aquitaine of Languedoc who, despite technically not “kings” owned huge pieces of land and private forces. And so the kings started to think of ways to reclaim their power. The first way they did this was by making very profitable marriage alliances with daughters of powerful nobles, and specifying in what we would call a marriage contract that the land the bride would bring to the king of France would remain his property, instead of returning to her male relatives (of course, that didn’t always work, look up mega-badass double queen Eleanor of Aquitaine). The second way they did this was by developing a doctrine that became known as “the two bodies of the King”. The idea was that the king wasn’t just the human being that was currently king ; the “King” was also the transcendent figure which inhabited whichever “king” was on the throne. There’s the mortal body of the king and the divine body of the King. And therefore, the kingdom isn’t just the property of the king ; he had to look after it, but he cannot dispose of it at will, because it doesn’t just belong to him, it belongs to this transcendent King. That’s where “the king is dead, long live the King !” comes from. So from then on, the kingdom cannot get divided at every succession, because there can only be one kingdom of France. The current king just happen to coincide with the transcendent king during a certain period of time. Using this doctrine, the kings of France progressively reclaimed their authority on the entire entity that would become known as the kingdom of France, because they aren’t just a noble among nobles ; they are above them, and while the noble yield power over their land, the king has a claim over this same land which transcends simple property. Sovereignty isn’t ownership, it transcends it. So when the Revolution came, the very idea that France was an entity separate from the king was actually born centuries before.

And that’s two examples of how systems of law can change. Some changes are relatively sudden, others happen over centuries as mentalities and society evolve. There’s really no roadmap of how those changes operate. Some were portended by academic or philosophical discussions, others were pushed by a political necessity. But they never truly come out of nowhere. The law is inherently conservative, because above all else, its aim is stability. So even something revolutionary as… well, the Revolution, has to be studied in its context if we are to really understand its ruptures and its continuity, because yes, there is immense legal continuity between the Old Regime and the Revolution. If you’re interested in this topic, it’s mandatory you read Alexis de Tocqueville’s “The Old Regime and the Revolution”. If you study law in France, it’s pretty much the first thing they’ll make you read, and it’s quite accessible even if you have no legal background. I also recommend Rafe Blaufarb’s remarkable “The Great Demarcation : the French Revolution and the invention of Modern Property”, though it’s a bit more technical.

Today’s #SJComix365 entry is “Inhuman Traffick: The International Struggle Against the TransAtlantic Slave Trade, A Graphic History”. This book tells is a unique and comprehensive #graphichistory of enslavement and freedom that spans the entire Atlantic world. . Beginning in 1829, off the west coast of Africa with the recapture of the slave ship Neirsée--previously seized by the British Navy in its efforts to suppress the "inhuman traffick"--and ending with the liberation of the African passengers who had been sold into slavery in the French Caribbean, Rafe Blaufarb puts a human face on the history of the transatlantic slave trade and the efforts to extinguish it. Inhuman Traffick shows how history is done by explaining how the documents on which it is based moved through time and space - from the ships, African outposts, colonial buildings, and ministerial offices, to the archives of present-day Britain and France. . Blaufarb explains how he came upon the story, how he and his editor envisioned the project, and how he worked with illustrator Liz Clarke to craft more than 300 "cells" that comprise Part II of the book. He and Clarke even take the reader inside archives in France and Britain, where early envisioning of the project began. . This powerful combination of historical essay, graphics, primary-source documents, and discussion questions gives readers (particularly students) insight into the Atlantic World plantation complex, the transatlantic slave trade, and the process of historical storytelling itself. #comics #graphicnovels #bhm2019 #rafeblaufarb #lizclarke #transatlantic #transatlanticslavetrade #comicsscholarship #historyofslavery https://www.instagram.com/p/BtoGeLtgiWL/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1il4af84lzu86

"This is a fascinating and comprehensive collection of primary sources on the Age of Revolutions, ranging from Enlightenment political theory to empire and slavery. Blaufarb treats the U.S., French, Haitian, and Latin American Revolutions as a common movement. His chronological coverage is truly impressive, spanning from the Seven Years' War to the 1820s. This will be tremendously useful to instructors seeking to connect the different Atlantic Revolutions."

Paerdegat time

September 23, 2017

Went out with Jonathan Blaufarb to fish an area I had written off -- the back of Paerdegat Basin.

I have often seen peanut bunker churning in the basin, but have never been able to convert that into a hookup.

Hot temps. 80 degrees, but got out there at 7:00 am. Incoming tide. NNE wind. Water temps + 70 degrees.

Thsnks to Jonathan's good advice, we used lightweight trebles to liveline for blues (and for Jonathan a striper and fluke hookup). I got 4 blues, 2 lost, 2 in the boat.

. . .once universal emancipation had been decreed, but prudently suspended, these slaves would learn that they had been granted their liberty, but that they would only enjoy it in proportion to their intellectual advancement. Who among them would not feel instantly worthy of the benefit intended for them? . . . Who among them could stand to see their peers emancipated, but not themselves? Who among them would not want to be the first? Who among them would consent to leave liberty to their children without having savored it themselves?

All of them will want to be free, and all will be free the day they learn that they can be. I can and must say: one does not wait for liberty. This axiom of the Revolution does not need proof in this Assembly. . .
