Beginnings of Revolution In the year 1789 Réveillon was the casualty of his own ill-digested reflections on modern economics. “Since bread was the foundation of our national economy' its distribution should be deregulated, permitting lower prices. That in turn would allow lower wage costs, lower manufacturing prices and brisk consumption.” On April 28, 1789 his mansion was destroyed, all the wallpaper, glue, furniture and paintings were burned, except 2,000 bottles of wine. Réveillon and his family escaped. It was a bloody day, some say 25 other believe 900 people died. The rioters were savagely repressed, in an opening episode of the French Revolution. FYI: October 19, 1783, First hot air balloon launch from Reveillon’s garden.

The Riot Aristocrats returning from the race track through the neighborhood where the riot had occurred thought those responsible would be hung and life would continue as it had. WRONG!! By July, the hungry, unemployed, or poorly paid residents of Paris had taken up arms.

The French Revolution The corrupt governments of Louis, XIV, XV, & XVI had racked up a huge debt, and caused an economic crisis. The French people, were divided into 3 estates. The first two paid no taxes.

The Estates The Old Regime 1 st estate – Clergy -owned 10% of the land & paid no taxes 2 nd estate – Nobility -owned 20% of the land & paid no taxes -had land, but no money 3 rd estate – “Peasants” 27 million people 98% of the population -divided into 3 parts

The 3 rd Estate Part I – The Bourgeoisie -prosperous middle class -were rich, but had no political power Part II – Rural Peasants -9 out of 10 people in France -some were rich land owners, but not part of the nobility -most were poor tenant farmers & day laborers Part III – Urban Workers -poorest members of French society -most were unemployed & turned to crime to survive

The Haves v. the Have-nots The Haves -1 st estate -2 nd estate -3 rd estate Pt.I The Have-nots -3 rd estate (most of pt.II) -3 rd estate pt.III

The Lives of the Have-nots Low wages meant the slightest rise in the price of bread could lead to starvation They paid all the taxes in the nation They had no voice in government They were technically free, but the nobility re-imposed manor fees. They had no right to hunt even the animals that ate their crops.

Formula Social unrest (Enlightenment ideas) +financial crisis (deficit spending) REVOLUTION!

4 phases of the French Revolution National Assembly -( ) -Constitutional Monarchy Reign of Terror -( ) -Radical Phase Directory -( ) -Reaction to Extremism Age of Napoleon -( ) -Consolidation of Change
