  1. Part D Questions • Evaluate to what extent the extract presents a reliable view of the need to take such measures against Lyon. • In your response refer to different views of the Terror.

  2. Three Part Response • Part 1. Answer question using only information from the source- What does it tell us about the revolution at that time? • Part 2. How is the source limited? Fill in the gaps with your own knowledge. Strut your stuff! • Part 3. What do at least two contrasting Historians think about the event/aspect that the document is about?

  3. Collotd’Herbois • Collotd'Herbois, also on the C.P.S., wrote to Paris from Lyon: • "My friend and brother, our Jacobin brothers are achieving marvels...Here we have restored not public spirit, since there is none, but courage, the morale...of patriots who have suffered oppression for too long. We have revitalised justice in republican style; i.e. swift and terrible as the will of the nation... • The death of these scoundrels will assure life for generations of free men. These are our principles. We will demolish...by cannon-fire and by exploding mines... • The people's blade cut the heads off twenty conspirators each day and it did not frighten them. We have set up a commission which is as prompt as can be the conscience of true republicans sitting in judgement on traitors. Sixty-four of these conspirators were shot yesterday, on the same spot where they fired on patriots; 230 will fall today. Such substantial examples will help to persuade these cities which are vacillating" • Cobb, R. & Jones,C.(ed.) The French Revolution Voices .. pp. 200-201.

  4. What does the document actually say with regard to the question? What does this extract tell you about what led to the measures taken against Lyon? -Patriots have been oppressed -Justice has been denied -Freedom has been denied (royalists?) -They have conspired against the Republic -Executing 20 people a day was not enough to discourage other towns from taking part

  5. How is the source limited? • What does the documentnot say? • Does not give any reasons for the revolt • Why were they conspirators? • What cities were vacillating? • Who are the conspirators? You should draw on what you know of the tensions between the Girondins and the Jacobins that resulted in the Federalist revolt and answer the points not covered by Collot.

  6. What do Historians think? First, establish the bias of the author by putting them into historical context • Who was the author? • Where were they from? • What did they do? • In whose interests was this piece written? • Who is the audience? • REMEMBER TO READ THE TITLE OF THE DOCUMENT!

  7. Collotsd’Herbois • Who was he? • Representative on mission • Worked for Committee of Public Safety • A zealous Jacobin • Loved his job (Killing Girondins) • Writing to the C.P.S in Paris (of which he was a member)

  8. What do Historians think? • If the extract is from an Historian, compare it to the views of other historians. • If it is a primary source then you may compare it to opinions of the time as well as Historian’s views.

  9. What do Historians think? • Schama: blood, blood, blood • Cobban: The perfect storm • Sobouland Rude’: It’s a bourgeois takeover • Doyle: What class struggle? They went broke.

  10. What do Historians think? • This question allows you to analyse the views of historians. Don’t just write ‘Schama says this or Rude’ says that.’ • Put their views in context by knowing their overall thesis.

  11. ACTIVITY • Read the Fenwick and Anderson extract on page 12.14 and documents A to C on page 12.16 to 12.17 • Using these documents as ‘different views of the Terror,’ contrast them to d’Herbois. What extra information do they include? How do they interpret events differently? Why?
