Monthly Discussion Point: The Sans-Culottes

[trf-chan.livejournal.com]

This month's discussion point is the sans-culottes.

And only six days late, too. :P I know the topics about specific people are generally more popular, but my feeling is that we've got to space them out a bit.

So this month we shall discuss a group - the sans-culottes. The role they played in shaping events, the range of different opinions held on them, all of that fun stuff. GET DISCUSSING. :P

Ha, in my First Year Seminar we started argueing about sans-culottes because someone mixed them up with the rural peasants. We had a very long discussion, following, on the rural peasants, why their lives sucked, and why they were mostly monarchist.
