Napoleon's Attitudes To The France Pre-Napoleonic Era

The reign of Napoleon was supreme to other rulers of his day. Napoleon not only won the hearts of the people of his country but also the encouragement of the surrounding nations of Europe at the time. At first, Napoleon's methods were questionable, but as Napoleon proved himself through military victory and through great reform throughout France, the people of France learned to gained respect for him.
The attitude of France Pre-Napoleonic era was grim. With France in a trifling debt due to the Revolution, France needed someone to look to and lead them with an iron fist. When the Revolution ended, there was a very high charisma in the country. This is so because of the overtake of the government of France, the Implementation of Civil rights to the
people, and an educational system that would be developed but still had several problems in the system of curriculum and centralized education.
With the revolution, a new style of pride in one's country would emerge. This pride is known as nationalism. Nationalism is an absolute pride in the culture of one's country. No other ruler of France encouraged this sense of passion in one's self more than Napoleon. When Napoleon declared himself emperor of France he set up a series of rules that governed all the people in France. The people were generally happy about this code because of the opportunities and freedom that the code permitted. The code Napoleon included such liberties as declaring everyone is equal, freedom of religion, and trial by jury. Although Napoleon was a great leader there were some aspects of his rule that people did not like about him. The people dislike that absolute dictatorship of Napoleon and his attitude of anything he says goes. The people disliked the way that Napoleon dealt with civil issues that arose during the wars. For example, an event
known as the 13 Vendemiaire Napoleon settled a mob in Paris by firing grapeshots from cannons into the crowd killing 13 people instantly and many others from the wounds that they suffered. The people of France looked to Napoleon in a time of need. They relied on Napoleon to carry them through victory in war. The people say that Napoleon was a man of character that was able to lead and expanding country.
In the effects of September 11, 2001, America was in turmoil and despair. When the planes hit the towers, there were mixed emotions of horror, shock, and terror throughout the country. America needed someone to look to in that time. The person was President Bush. Bush tried to Settle the chaos that was being displayed by the people as the events of September 11 occurred. Like Napoleon, the people need someone to look to lead them through a time of peril. Bush and Napoleon brought great reform to the people and created piece through the country that they ruled.
