Reign of terror

1st hour
Why was the Reign of Terror not justified? The Reign of Terror was not justified because it was not what the people of France wanted, which was equality. The government was not giving rights or actions they promised either, and both sides of the fight were put in serious danger.
The Reign of Terror wasn't justified due to many uncivil decisions made by the government which started a revolution of the people.
In the Vendee region rebels fought against laws. The laws they fought against were laws against Christianity. People in this region wanted to maintain their religion but this was not an option because the government took it away from them. More rebels joined in the fight and soon enough in some areas the rebels almost wiped out government officials. The rebels even killed some of the government. Many people throughout the
Reign of Terror were killed by a guillotine. This affects not only them but their family and friends too. Life is the biggest thing anyone has to lose whether it’s yourself or a loved one.
20,000-40,000 people died from the guillotine alone. This loss adds to the evidence that people of France did not want the
Reign of Terror, therefore it is not justified.
The people of France might have been more okay with the
Reign of Terror if it did not contradict France’s ideas of rights and actions. Originally it seemed that France was doing the right thing to hire spies in neighborhoods, also known as the
“Committee of Public Safety” .However, the original idea of things being safer for citizens was soon shot down. No one was safe from suspicion and a word against the government could mean a death penalty or jail time. The number of people that were killed by the Committee of Public Safety in the countryside was somewhere in between 35,000 - 40,000 citizens, and probably the majority of them were just speaking their mind
