The Contrast: “British Liberty / French Liberty”

The Contrast: “French Liberty / British Slavery”

Religious Terror: De-Christianization ( )  The Catholic Church was linked with real or potential counter-revolution.  Religion was associated with the Ancien Régime and superstitious practices.  Very popular among the sans-culottes.  Therefore, religion had no place in a rational, secular republic!

The De-Christianization Program 1.The adoption of a new Republican Calendar: * abolished Sundays & religious holidays. * months named after seasonal features. * 7-day weeks replaced by 10-day decades. * the yearly calendar was dated from the creation of the Republic [Sept. 22, 1792] The Convention symbolically divorced the state from the Church!!

The De-Christianization Program 2.The public exercise of religion was banned. 3.The Paris Commune supported the: * destruction of religious & royal statues. * ban on clerical dress. * encouragement of the clergy to give up their vocations. 4.The Cathedral of Notre Dame in Paris was turned into the “Temple of Reason.” 5.The deportation of priests denounced by six citizens.

The “Temple of Reason” Come, holy Liberty, inhabit this temple, Become the goddess of the French people.

The Festival of Supreme Being A new secular holiday.

Backlash to the De-Christianization Program  It alienated most of the population (especially in the rural areas).  Robespierre never supported it. * he persuaded the Convention to reaffirm the principle of religious toleration.  Decree on the “Liberty of Cults” was passed * December 6, * BUT, it had little practical effect!

The Terror Intensified: March to July, 1794 ÔLaw of 22 Prairial [June 10, 1794]. * Trials were now limited to deciding only on liberty OR death, with defendants having no rights. * Were you an “enemy of the people?” (the law was so broadly written that almost anyone could fall within its definition!) Ô1,500 executed between June & July. Danton & the “Indulgents” Jacques Hébert & the Hérbetists Executed in April, Executed in March, 1794.

The “Thermidorean Reaction,” 1794 PJuly 26  Robespierre gives a speech illustrating new plots & conspiracies. * he alienated members of the CPS & CGS. * many felt threatened by his implications. PJuly 27  the Convention arrests Robespierre. PJuly 28  Robespierre is tried & guillotined!

The Revolution Consumes Its Own Children! Danton Awaits Execution, 1793 Robespierre Lies Wounded Before the Revolutionary Tribunal that will order him to be guillotined, 1794.
