[comite-de-salut-public]

Hi you guys know those enragé guys? Well, they’re at it again. Bread prices went up a bit and they went straight for the pikes. You probably saw them out the window. Citizen Roux seems kinda mad :/. I think your names came up. Pretty publicly unsafe if you ask me.

First of all: this seems like a Committee of General Security problem.

Second of all: because you're sending this here and not to them, I'm assuming they pulled one of their "let Public Safety deal with it" cop-outs. But yes, this does seem publicly unsafe. Especially the pikes. We're genuinely sorry about the bread prices, plenty of folks want to see a maximum imposed but obviously bureaucracy makes that a very slow-going process. If you were sending this a year ago I'd tell you to go to Citizen Marat's, as he gives people free bread (and other stuff) quite frequently but unfortunately... that isn't quite an option anymore.

Sorry, this is kind of turning into a beat-around-the-bush way to say that we don't actually really super know what to do about Citizen Roux. A few people have said he might be a foreign agitator, but it's too soon to tell. If you've got proof, please do send it in, because then he would land in our department and maybe we could give you something more concrete.

Marguerite David

Announcement requesting help to all: I am desperately looking for information in the context of the French revolution of information on Marguerite David who would be a supporter of Jacques Roux and a militant from the Parisian section of Gravilliers in 1793. If anyone has them information please let me know.

[anotherhumaninthisworld]

I was trying to imagine how Jacques Roux would dress himself in his everyday life before (as a priest working/teaching in Saint-Thomas-de-Conac) and during the revolution (walking around in Paris with his dog) and got curious about how worse off priests dress themselves during the revolution. I’ve only seen drawings of married priests in their yellowish robe… Could you maybe recommend some sources on this?

I’m sorry anon, but I’ve had a really hard time finding anything. I’d figured books about just the clergy in general during the revolution would be something there would exist a multitude of given how essential it is for why things turned out the way they did, but the only digitalized ones I found were the following: 

Le christianisme et la Révolution française (1927) by Alphonse Aulard

Le christianisme et la Révolution française (1845) by Edgar Quinet

I’ve tried searching for words like ”chasuble” and ”vêtement” in them but couldn’t find anything. I’m sure there must exist more but for the moment I can’t really suggest anything else. Someone more knowledgeable about the subject is more than free to share what they know.

A little update about Robespierre

Since 1794, reactionary memory has made Robespierre a monster, a bloodthirsty dictator, who wanted to destroy the Old Order, Catholic traditions. Until the Restoration of the monarchy, very few sources are accessible to better understand the character, so demonized is he... It is from the Restoration that writings are rediscovered about him. Under the July Monarchy (1830-1848), the image of Robespierre becomes a model for a democratic and social Republic; an image taken up for the Revolution of 1848. Under the Second Empire, moderate republicans reject the image of Robespierre like that of all the Montagnards; for these republicans, heirs of the Girondins, the French Revolution is limited to 1789, and nothing else!

Since the beginning of the 20th century, in particular thanks to the work of the historian Albert Mathiez, Robespierre appears as an indisputable model of a democratic and social Republic. Jean Jaurès paints a glowing portrait of him in his Socialist History of the French Revolution. Then, in 1920, the communists of the French Communist Party made Robespierre a great revolutionary model, the most important figure of the French Revolution and the First Republic. Moreover, in 1936, the Popular Front, whether it was the communists or the socialists, did not hesitate to glorify the character. In this post, I want to deconstruct in my own way the heroic image of Robespierre.

My post consists to explain why Robespierre did not go far enough in the essential fights to overthrow the old order and traditions, and for an egalitarian, democratic, social and secular republic. I will also take a position for some of my "favorite" revolutionaries, among them Jacques Roux and the "Enragés", Babeuf, Jean-Baptiste Carrier, Antoine-François and Sophie Momoro... I will establish a comparison between the characters cited and Robespierre. If you dislike or are bothered by this post, feel free to leave a critical comment...

At the beginning of 1793, Robespierre was already showing himself to be far too moderate, even indifferent, to the demands of the popular Sans-Culottes movement. At the end of 1792, Jacques Roux (for whom I have a lot of admiration, I will explain why in a future post) had acquired great popularity among the Sans-Culottes, due to his brilliant interventions at the Granvilliers section, and especially thanks to his Speech on the judgment of Louis the Last, on the pursuit of speculators, hoarders and traitors. In this speech, Jacques Roux defends a truly egalitarian program, which is not the case for Robespierre! Jacques Roux notably called for the general taxation and requisition of commodities, the guillotine for hoarders and manufacturers of counterfeit assignats, a ban on exporting grain, etc...

In February 1793, when the radical sans-culotte petitioners, supported by Jacques Roux (and other "ultra-revolutionaries", of course), decided to disrupt the session of the Convention by demanding in particular the general taxation of commodities, Robespierre refused this economic program, considering it absurd and unrealistic.

Robespierre, attached to the right of property and economic liberalism, was against the abolition of private property. In April 1793, he even declared that "equality of property is a chimera". Unlike Babeuf or Jacques Roux, Robespierre opposed the agrarian law, which he considered a counter-revolutionary tool, going as far as the right of property; he was therefore against the fair sharing of property and land! The "ultra-revolutionaries" demanded the guillotine for the hoarders and speculators, which was not the case for Robespierre...

Following the riots of May 31 to June 2, 1793, Robespierre even defended 75 moderates accused of supporting the Girondins. He hoped to limit the scale of the Sans-Culottes movement, whose "radicalization" he feared (he allowed himself to use this word). Fortunately, in June 1793, Jacques Roux presented his brilliant Manifesto of the Enragés, in which he criticized the deputies for being too conciliatory with the hoarders, the speculators, and for maintaining economic liberalism. Robespierre refused to listen to the reproaches made by the most faithful representatives of the sans-culottes, and he expelled Jacques Roux from the Convention ! Robespierre thus launched a fight against the Enragés. The Enragés continued to demand a freeze on prices (the Convention was satisfied with the law of the Maximum), the raising of a revolutionary army to requisition wheat in the countryside, the arrest of all enemies of the people, the purge of the general staff, the dismissal of the nobles. In August 1793, Jacques Roux was arrested, followed by Varlet. This is what happened when one was too radical, much more revolutionary than Robespierre :)

From September 1793, Hébert and especially the brilliant Antoine-François Momoro, now asserted themselves as spokesmen for the sans-culottes. Robespierre was therefore far from controlling everything.

The supporters of reactionary memory who demonize Robespierre (and even some admirers of Robespierre who, in truth, know him very little) equate the character with dechristianization (or worse, with atheism - which makes me laugh so much!). This is not the case at all, quite the contrary, Robespierre is categorically against it !

When he was a member of the Constituent Assembly (from 1789 to 1791), Robespierre spoke in favor of religious freedoms. In 1791, he stated that Catholicism and its practices did not disturb public order, so he was in favor of letting clergy preach, and against touching churches. He found it absurd to eradicate all belief. For Robespierre, the Civil Constitution of the Clergy was enough, no need to go further.

It was the members of the insurrectional Commune of Paris (with Chaumette as public prosecutor and Hébert as substitute), who, from August 1792, decided on the first measures of dechristianization. Chaumette was the main instigator (without forgetting Momoro, whom I adore, let's not lie to ourselves). Robespierre rejected this anticlerical program...

We can say that Joseph Fouché got involved in the work, he took the initiative to destroy churches, break crosses, and burn texts that were sacred only to these Catholic enemies. When he went to Burgundy, Fouché was quite benevolent towards the clergy, since he forced the boarding priests to marry. Collot d'Herbois continued the work in Lyon, by pillaging churches and Catholic icons.

In Nantes, from November 1793 to January 1794, Carrier showed a courage showed a certain "courage"... While he did "the bulk of the work" (attention, provocation!) for the Vendéens, he gets rid of 58 harmful and counter-revolutionary priests, in the "pretty national bathtub" (it's him who says that)... Robespierre condemned this act, which is understandable, since Carrier also drowned innocents. Moreover, even Babeuf disapproved of the drownings in the Loire.

Robespierre lacked courage in the face of counter-revolutionary Catholics. He simply stuck to the Republican calendar and renamed the communes. Another commendable action of dechristianization is of course the celebration of the Cult of Reason, at the initiative of Chaumette and Momoro at the Temple of Reason, where Sophie Founier (wife of Momoro) plays the role of the Goddess-Reason. As a reminder, in Brumaire Year II, Archbishop Gobel agreed to renounce his functions and abjure his religion, wearing the red cap. Shortly after the Festival of Reason, Robespierre gave a speech at the Jacobin Club, attacking atheism by considering it "aristocratic" (which is highly questionable). Then, from March 28, 1794, it was the end of the story for the 19 greatest revolutionaries (from my point of view) called "Hébertists" (the name is in my opinion inappropriate, knowing the different characters well) who had fought to the end against the influence of religion contrary to reason, atheism being proof of rationalism (later, perhaps I will offer you a philosophical post on this subject...).

Robespierre deemed it necessary to introduce a new god, thus preferring virtue and morality, rather than reason which was dear to the ultra-revolutionaries defenders of atheism. On 18 Floréal Year II, Robespierre established the Cult of the Supreme Being. The attributes symbolizing atheism, used during the Cult of Reason, were forbidden. Robespierre burned a statue representing atheism. In his Decree Establishing the Cult of the Supreme Being, he behaves like a priest, preaching the belief in the immortality of the human soul. In some conservative regions, Catholics who are still alive do not hesitate to celebrate mass! I dare say that Robespierre did nothing to prevent this (without casting too many stones at him) !

Simonne Évrard's speech of 8 August 1793 in the National Convention

"I am not here to ask you the favors of cupidity that claims and craves for indigence. Marat’s widow just needs a grave. Before I get to the relieving end of my tormented life, I come to ask you for justice towards the new attacks committed against the memory of the most intrepid and outraged of the people’s defenders. These monsters, how much gold did they lavish! How many hypocritical pamphleteers were paid to put his name to shame! With such hateful rage, they tried so hard to give him a colossal political existence and a detestable celebrity, in order to dishonor the people’s cause that he proudly defended. This day, still stained by his blood, they persecute him to his grave; some other day, they still dare to murder his memory. They are even trying to depict the monster, who pierced his chest with the parricide iron, as an intriguing heroine. In this circle we see the vilest of them all, the Carra, the Ducos, the Dulaure, the shameless praises in their periodicals to encourage their peers to slaughter what is left of the defenders of liberty. I do not talk about the vile Pétion who, in Caen, during a meeting with his accomplices, dared to say that the murder was a virtue.

Soon enough the foolish treachery of the conspirators, who pretend to honor the civic virtues, will make the infamous publications grow, where the horrible murder is presented in favorable ways and the martyr of the patrie is disfigured by the most hideous convulsions.

But here it is the most wicked of their schemes: They bribed some foolish writers who shamelessly usurp his name and tarnish his principles to immortalize the empires of lies which he was victim of! Cowards! First, they flatter the people’s pain to get their praise, then they speak the language of patriotism and morality so that the people believe to still be listening to Marat; but all of this is just to slander the most zealous defenders who have protected them. It is to preach, in Marat’s name, the exaggerations that his enemies attributed to him.

I denounce two men in particular, Jacques Roux and Leclerc, who claim to carry on his patriotic papers and make his shadow talk to insult his memory and to betray the people. After spouting revolutionary platitudes, they encourage the people to outlaw the government. It is in those occasions that they use his name to stain in blood the day of the 10th of August, because his sensitive soul, devastated by the sight of the crimes of tyranny and the uneasiness of humanity, sometimes let out some rightful curses towards the people’s oppressors and public leeches. They try to preserve the parricide lie that persecuted him and made him look like a foolish apostle of anarchy and chaos. And who are these men that claim his place? It is a priest, who the day after the faithful deputies triumphed over their cowardly enemies, came to insult the National Convention through a seditious and wicked speech. There is another man, no less perverse, who is associated with the mercenary furors of said impostor. What is important to remark is that these two men are the same who had been denounced by him at the Cordeliers’ club  just a few days before his death as people paid by our enemies to create public disorder and, on the same occasion, they were also formally expelled from this popular society. What is the aim of this perfidious faction that fuels these criminal intrigues? It is to vilify the people who honor the memory of the one who died for their cause. It is to slander all the friends of the patrie, whom it has designated as Maratists; to deceive all the French people across the whole republic, who gather for the reunion of August the 10th, by presenting them their perfidious writings, in which they preach the teaching of the very people’s representative they slaughtered. It is to cause disturbance in these solemn days through some disastrous catastrophe.

God! What will become of the people? If these men can usurp their trust! What is the deplorable condition of their intrepid defenders if death itself cannot avoid them the fury of their murderers! Legislators, for how long would you endure it if crime insulted virtue? Where does this privilege come from, of English and Austrian emissaries to trap public opinion, to give daggers to the defenders of our laws and to know the founding valor of our raising republic? If you let them go unpunished then I denounce them all here to the French people, to the universe. The memory of the martyrs of liberty and the heritage of the people; that of Marat is the only good deed left to me, I devote to his defense the last days of a languid life. Legislators, avenge the patrie, the honesty, the misfortune and the virtue, striking at the most cowardly of all the enemies.”

Good news and bad news about my research on Jacques Roux supporters, more precisely on Marguerite Julie David

Continuing to do research in order to find out who was Marguerite David then supporter of Jacques Roux I found this very interesting article which talks about the supporters of Jacques Roux ( and Marguerite David). It is called "Les Jacquesroutins" written by Walter Markov Bad news my computer very capricious now on certain sites refuses me access :( So still at a standstill for my research. In addition, I cannot give you any information. I nevertheless put you the link for those who are interested do not hesitate to say the most important elements if you want :)

Awkward hugs compilation

M. Dusaulx: It isn’t envy that rises to this tribune, it is gratitude. I am very attached to M. Petion: he is my fellow patriot. Without ever having spoken to him, I believe I am his interpreter on this tribune. No premature praise: love is the reward of living men, statues and crowns the price of the dead. I regard M. Petion as my son; it is very bold, no doubt! He steps down from the tribune, and M. Petion throws himself into his arms. This triumph of sentiment made all hearts feel the sweetest sensation. Session at the Jacobins November 19 1791

M. Dusaulx: All the patriots of this club have long been suspended in the course of a discussion which seemed to compromise two good patriots who must love and esteem each other; something would be missing after what M. Brissot said before leaving this assembly, it is the duty of these two generous men to embrace each other. No sooner had he finished than MM. Robespierre and Brissot were in each other's arms, amid the unanimous applause of the Society, moved by this touching spectacle. M. Robespierre: By yielding to M. Dusaulx's invitation, I only gave myself up to the impulse of my heart, I gave what I owed to the confession and to the fraternity and to the feeling depth that I have of a man who enjoys the greatest consideration and who must render the greatest services to the fatherland; I will prove to M. Brissot how much I am attached to him. This should in no way change the opinion that every man should have of the public good; it is to do all that will be in me, and what I believe necessary for the public safety, that I will ask to answer in another session to the speech of M. Brissot. Brissot and Robespierre at the Jacobins, January 20 1792

M. Dumouriez rushes into M. Robespierre's arms. The Society and the tribunes, regarding these embraces as a presage of the agreement of the ministry with the love of the people, accompany this spectacle with the liveliest applause. The Jacobin Club, March 19 1792

A few days later Danton came to find me. He showed me a letter that Marat wrote to him; this letter was very insolent; reproaches were mixed with insults; he threatened Danton. Danton seemed angry to me; Marat was on the surveillance committee, we went down there together. The debate was very lively; Danton treated Marat harshly; Marat maintained what he had put forward, ended up saying that it was necessary to forget everything, tore up the letter, embraced Danton, and Danton embraced him back. I attest to these facts which played out before me. Discours de Jérôme Pétion sur l’accusation intentée contre Maximilien Robespierre (November 5 1792)

Dumouriez enters the hall together with Santerre; the general embraces Robespierre, everyone applauds. The Jacobin Club, October 14 1792

Rousillon: I was accused of partiality, because I did not want to call into question whether Legendre would be expelled; Momero was said to be an aristocrat; I was forced to embrace Jacques Roux, but never did a kiss seem so bitter to me. The Jacobin Club, June 28 1793

The reconciliation, however, appeared to be complete; the two embraced: Danton put frankness in it; he was touched; we were all moved: well! How could you not? We only think, we only see the patrie, liberty, the republic; Only Robespierre remained cold like marble!.... Principaux évènemens, pour et contre la Révolution, dont les détails ont été ignorés jusqu’à présent: et prédiction de Danton au Tribunal révolutionnaire, accomplie (1794) by Jean-Lambert Tallien and Jean-Louis-Marie Villain d’Aubigny, page 49-50.

Goupilleau de Fontenay: I challenge David to declare if, at the moment when Robespierre descended from the tribune of the Jacobins, after having delivered his speech, or rather his indictment, he, David, did not go and embrace him saying: "If you drink hemlock, I shall drink it with you."  David: It was not to come and greet Robespierre that I went down to his side; it was to go up to the tribune and ask that the feast of the 10th should take place. I didn't embrace Robespierre, I didn't even touch him, because he repelled everyone.  The Jacobin Club, July 31 1794

On exiting the hall, Tallien doubled his pace, grabbed hold of Fréron, pressed him into his arms and embraced him. This unexpected scene caused great disorder within the club. On one side, people applauded, saying: ”Look! Look! They don’t care!” On the other, one cried: ”This is how the conspirators get along!” Jacobin Club, September 3 1794, just after both Tallien and Fréron had been struck from the club’s list of members.

Chatillon-Sur-Marne, which I am only mentioning here because Joly, its priest, a former college comrade of Robespierre, got it into his head to come and say hello to him at the time of the terror. Robespierre drew back when he tried to embrace him; and whenever, while talking, the priest of Chatillon-sur-Marne approached the tyrant, the latter huddled in a corner, still afraid of being assassinated. Dictionnaire néologique des hommes et des choses… (1799) by Beffroy de Reigny, volume 3, page 223

The next day Saint-Just came to my room: I was occupied with my mail and I begged him to let me finish a letter. While I was writing he saw my rifle, seized it and amused himself by examining the battery: it was unfortunately loaded, the shot went off, the bullet passed close to me and went to pierce my coat rack which was on a chair, five or six steps away. I got up immediately, the gun had fallen from the hands of Saint-Just, he turned pale, staggered and threw himself into my arms. He then said to me in a deepened tone: “Ah! Levasseur, if I had killed you? - You would have played me a nasty trick; if I must die from a gunshot, let it at least come from an enemy’s hand. Hearing the report, several officers who were near my door rushed into my room and found Saint-Just, pale as death, in my arms. Mémoires de R. Levasseur (de la Sarthe) ex-conventionnel, ornés du portrait de l’auteur (1829), volume 2, page 242

The session became so stormy that Collot used acts of violence against Robespierre. He threw himself at him and seized him by the flanks. He was about to throw Robespierre through the window when the latter's friends rescued him. Robespierre then declared that he was leaving the committee, that he could not honorably sit with executioners, that he would report this to the Convention. One saw the danger of publicizing this scene, blamed Collot's patriotic anger, and begged Robespierre, after having torn up the disastrous list, not to give the enemies of the Republic new means of attacking it. Robespierre seemed to calm down, but when Collot approached him to embrace him he refused and despite being urged not to he left. Mémoires de Barras, membre du Directoire, page 349-350
