my name is Jean Claude Vandam, it has been a while since all the tough actions of the revelution took place now we have a new and brave leader his name is napoleon bonaparte, he has helped the country in many different ways. he has come up with the formation of directory, this contains two legislative branches and five executive branches that are all made up of citizens from upper and lower classes. the new directory has give the people of this country some right, like freedom of relion, freedom of press and freedom of labour. the new rights and freedoms that our great leader has given us has given everyone the sense of civic nationalism.
my name is Jean Claude Vandam, today was a day of revenge for many of people in france, robespierre was finally gonna get punished for the things that he had done to the people of the country he made us believe that he was trying to help us but he kill many inosont people for the reason they should have the right to do. robespierre was sent to his death by the same weapon as every other person he let die, the guillitine. robespierre wanted to die before he was executed he tried to hang himself but he failed and he was sent to the national razor as everyone watched he was prepared for the execution as the blade droped the reign of terror was over. years after the death of robespierre a new leader came to france and his name was napoleon bonaparte, napoleon was a great general of the army and had great knowledge of the art of war. napolean was later acknowledged by the people because of the thing he has done for us. that really helped the nationalism and libralism of the country.
my name is Jean Claude Vandam, today something new was introdused to us all, it was the the committee of public safety, this was made up of nine members of the girondins. the committee was soon tooken over by the jacobines and once the jacobines took over they elected a leader and this leader was the most radical person in the revelution. this man completly hated the royals and loved that the king was executed, anyone that was found to even talk about the former monarchy was executed with no dipare. on september 6, 1793 a old friends 18 year old son, Jean-Baptiste Henry was executed for sawing down a tree of liberty. this was just the start of all the pain if the country.
my name is Jean Claude Vandam, today something happened that will change the face of france for ever. the king was sent to trial to state his case infront of the national convention, he was found guilty and they sent him to his death on january 21. the king was going to have to face the horrifying fait of the guillitine also known as the national razor. this was a invention made by a sick scientist. the king was brought to the place of his exicution in a royal carrage, the crowd was in complete silence as the king walked up and got prepared for his exicution. anyone that felt dispare for there king was sent to the same fait as him, as the king was put in possition for his exicution paris was silent and watching the king as he was about to be gone, finally as the guillitine was droped the king was gone and that was the end of king louis xvi. mounths after the death of the one she loved marie antionette was charged for treasing and sent to the same fait as king louis was, on the day of her exicution she was expecting to be picked up in a royal carrage like king louis but she was brought in a cage and on the way she was poked at and hit by the people. as she went up she was put in possition and there the guillitine droped and there went the queen.
my name is Jean Claude Vandam, another great thing happened to the country of france we are now a republic. the national convention was created to replace the legislative assambly, the new national assembly was lead by the girodins. the national convention is a group of 749 man that were all elected by the men of france i feel great to know that i had a part in who is running the new government we have elected people from the high classes and the lower classes. this strengthens the sense of civic nationalism.
my name is Jean Claude Vandam, today the legislative assembly was created for inforse laws by the people. the legislative assembly is mad of people of the bourgeoisie, jacobins and girodins. the jacobins are a radical group toward the revelution and the girodins are moderate to the revelution. the reason that i am happy to know this is that the citizens are making the rules for us to follow. the best thing is that we are being lead by the people that went though the same thing we did. this nationalist movement helped us get a sense of civic naationalism.
my name is Jean Claude Vandam, today i found out that the thing that i find out keeps on getting more and more out of preportion. guess what, the king and queen of france our leaders tried to flee the country because the king fear for the life of himself and his family. he tried to flee to astria but they did not succeed they were found in a small village close to the border of astria. they were captured and sent back to paris to face the citizens of the country he tried to abandon. this weakened our national identities.
my name is Jean Claude Vandam, today i found out about the most amazing news since my son was born and this news was that the first constitution in france was introduced. this limited the king of his power we were finally a constitutional monarchy, this means that the people of france would be taxed equaly and farely, no more unfair requests upon us for the needs of the king. we will for our selves and for our country no one else. i will remember this day for the rest of my life.
