Use one piece of butcher paper to make a horizontal and vertical timeline. Place the six major figures from the Enlightenment representing their lifespan horizontally across the top of the paper. Then, guide discussion towards their philosophies and ideas and place these below their names in order to make a vertical flow chart of their influences on others. For example, Montesquieu to Thomas Jefferson. (Montesquieu has his own lifespan, with Jefferson below it because of his influence on Jefferson and the establishment of American government following the American Revolution.) The result should clearly show the influences the Enlightenment thinkers had on the events of the American and French Revolutions. See Appendix A for notes. 3. Use the other sheet of butcher paper to highlight key people, ideas and events of the American Revolution. Attempt to tie in Enlightenment philosophies that were influential in the Revolution.

18 Appendix D- Liberty, Equality, and Fraternity: The French Revolution Background Information for Teacher Vocabulary words are printed in bold for each day s lesson. Lesson Two In the 1600 s, Descartes changed the way of thinking; he began thinking from scratch, without accepting traditional ideas from the church or from his parents. He doubted everything, and in turn, came up with his own idea: I think, therefore I am. He set the stage for other Enlightenment thinkers. Also in the 1600 s, England found itself in the midst of a Revolution. The citizens were frustrated with the Monarch and wanted to establish a Constitutional government. Although a king was executed, the monarchy was not eliminated, however its powers were reduced to fit into a Constitutional government. This revolution and Enlightenment thinking and philosophy influenced the American Revolution and in turn, influenced the French. The French allied themselves with the Americans during the Revolution because the French disliked the British. The French gained a friendship with the new country and learned from the ideas of the Americans. From , Louis XIV, also known as the Sun King, ruled France. He called himself this because he knew the planets revolved around the sun, and felt that the world revolved around him. During his reign, Louis built up France to be the most powerful European nations, partially due to his own philosophy: The State I am the state. A big symbol of his power was the Palace of Versailles, which set the standard for elegance and extravagance for this time period. (See website on Versailles, used in Lesson Two During this time period, French became an international language, and French literature, music, and customs were adopted by the upper classes around the world. Louis XV, who was a weak ruler, followed Louis XIV from However, he had the same ideas about being all-powerful center of the government. The people disliked him because of his extravagance, and during his reign he lost the Seven Years War against Britain. As his reign came to an end, Louis XV saw his country in shambles, and he cared little. His philosophy became Apres moi, le deluge, which meant, After me, the deluge, meaning that he is going to enjoy himself while he s alive, but he doesn t care about the result of his poor ruling. Louis XVI, the great great grandson of Louis XIV, ruled from He was a well-meaning man, but was incapable of leading the country in crisis. Louis enjoyed outdoors and hunting and greatly enjoyed the simpler pleasures of being king. Even though the majority of the people were poor, Louis and his wife, Marie Antoinette, enjoyed spending money and living lavishly. There is a legend that when asked about the shortages of bread, Marie Antoinette replied, Let them eat cake. The king and his wife were so out of touch with the masses, they didn t understand the seriousness of the shortages of food. Due to the Seven Years War with Britain, and aiding the American Revolution, the army and navy drained money away from the country. The country had borrowed money to finance these endeavors, the country needed a way to either raise taxes or cut back on spending. The leaders were unable to agree upon a solution, so taxes were raised. Another problem facing the country was a series of droughts and bad harvests, leading to shortages of grain for bread. Lesson Three During the reign of the monarchs in France, there were three Estates, with everyone belonging to one. The Estates are social classes consisting of: the First, Second, and Third Sixth Grade, The French Revolution 2001 Colorado Summer Writing Institute 18

19 Appendix D, page 2-Liberty, Equality, and Fraternity: The French Revolution Background Information for Teacher Estates. In the First Estate were the clergy or leaders of the Church. The Church owned land and individuals took care of this land for them, however they were not responsible for paying taxes on this land. They did send a small amount of money to the government each year as a gift. The First Estate was responsible for the spiritual and moral welfare of the nation, including educating the children. The Second Estate consisted of the nobles. These people were born into this position of wealth and prestige. They paid very little in taxes, despite their wealth and they had rights over peasant lands and received priority in getting top jobs in government. The Third Estate included everyone else from the middle class down, from doctors to lawyers to the homeless and poor. This was the largest Estate, with roughly 98% of the population included in it. The middle class of France is referred to as the bourgeois. Lesson Four As a result of the taxation, the 3 rd Estate has become extremely frustrated. At this point, the 2 nd Estate is also upset with the taxation of early 1789 because this is the first time the king has officially taxed the nobles and clergy. This brings about a special meeting of the Three Estates called the Estates General. During this meeting, the 1 st and 2 nd Estates treat the 3 rd Estate members as inferiors but forgetting the 3 rd Estates outnumbers both of them. As a result, the 3 rd Estate realizes they will not be respected and listened to, and they break into a group of their own and name themselves the National Assembly. (June 1789). No longer welcome at the Estates General, the National Assembly convenes as a nearby tennis court and they promise to work together to see their goal into fruition. This is known as the Tennis Court Oath. This move on the part of the 3 rd Estate outrages the other Estates. The Assembly then drafts the Declaration of the Rights of Man and Citizen, expressing Enlightenment ideas about equal rights for all along with freedom of religion and the right to a fair trial for everyone. Throughout the year of 1789, the 3 rd Estate rallies together and Louis then did two things. The first was he told the members of the 1 st and 2 nd Estate to humor the Assembly and listen to them and he also called in the military to frighten the Assembly. This is what made the 3 rd Estate storm the Bastille in order to arm themselves against the army. The Bastille was a prison and armory and represented all that was bad about the monarchy. (There are primary sources available about this event.) They took the mayor of Paris and the governor of the Bastille and killed them. Bastille day, July 14, is now a national holiday in France, much like the Fourth of July in the United States. Understandably, many nobles were now fearful of the power of the 3 rd Estate. Many renounced their privileges to protect themselves and many others fled the country. At this time, there was a fear that the king and queen would try to flee the country as well. On October 5 th, many women of Paris marched to Versailles and brought the king and queen to Tuileries Palace in Paris in order to keep an eye on them. This event is called the Women s March on Versailles. This was one of the first major events where women were directly involved in the French Revolution. Late in 1789, the National Assembly confiscated Church lands in order to back a new currency. The National Assembly created a Constitution in 1791 limiting the rights of the nobles and taking away church lands. The church lands were then sold to raise money for the new government. It should be noted that difficult times continued under the National Assembly. Sixth Grade, The French Revolution 2001 Colorado Summer Writing Institute 19

20 Appendix D, page 3-Liberty, Equality, and Fraternity: The French Revolution Background Information for Teacher There were still bread shortages and rioting became commonplace. Many people blamed the king for these problems. As the new constitution was created, the other European governments became upset about the events because they were worried about the revolution movement spreading. Countries like Austria, Prussia, England, and Spain decided to declare war on this new controversial government. In 1792, all of the armies of France were dedicated to the revolution of France and were fighting against the other countries of Europe. This ended all power of the king and the Republic of France was formed. Lesson Six As the new republic began to establish its roots, many groups of people vied for power. One of the first situations to appear was the formation of foreign armies on the borders of France in attempt to renew the power of the monarchy. Among these countries were Prussia, Austria, England and Spain. The French Army, on the side of the National Assembly, was sent to fight off these armies. One great leader during this time was Napoleon Bonaparte, who would gain experience and attention and would reappear later in time. There were also troubles at home. After the monarchy was abolished, a journalist named Jean Paul Marat was quoted as saying Let the blood of these traitors flow. That is the only way to save the country. Some radical groups took this to the extreme and began seeking out and executing loyalists to the old government, called the counter-revolutionaries. At this time, 1792, the National Assembly brought the king to trial. He was convicted of treason and sentenced to death. In January 1793, to the cheering of the crowds, Louis XVI was marched to the guillotine and executed. In October of the same year, Marie Antoinette followed. As a result of the chaos that ensued, from the radical actions of the Assembly, now called the Convention, people like Georges Jacques Danton came into power. He was a revolutionary leader and early member of the Jacobin Club as well. There were two main groups within the Convention, the Jacobins and the Girondins. The Jacobins, lead by Danton and Maximilien Ropespierre, were very radical and wanted extreme change to come quickly, even if violence was necessary. In comparison, the Girondins wanted to raise support for the new revolution and extend it beyond the boarders of France. The Jacobins began as a Club and worked to include the masses to gain support for their movement. They often encouraged the masses to take direct and often violent action. By distributing food and money and by including the people on the outside in debates, they won a large following in Paris and throughout the country. Complications between the two groups of the Convention soon arose. The Jacobins began using the writings of Marat to press for the overthrow of the Girondins. Many members of the Girondins faced similar trials and fates as that of Louis XVI. In retaliation, one member of the Girondins, Charlotte Corday, took action into her own hands. Arriving at the door of Marat, in July 1793, she announced that she had information about counter-revolutionary activities. Finding Marat in a bath, she stabbed him in the heart, and he died instantly. But her actions were not sufficient and the Jacobins gained control of the Convention. Within the Convention, power was concentrated into two groups: the Committee of Public Safety and the Committee of General Security. With the fall of power of the Girondins, the Jacobins gained control of the both committees. As a result, the Reign of Terror began and lasted one year, and Robespierre gained power of the Committee of Public Safety. The committee began searching for those who Sixth Grade, The French Revolution 2001 Colorado Summer Writing Institute 20

21 Appendix D, page 4-Liberty, Equality, and Fraternity: The French Revolution Background Information for Teacher were rumored to be in disagreement with Robespierre or his ideas. In this one-year alone, over 40,000 people were executed for things as small as a personal scores. A spiteful neighbor making allegations was enough to send a person to their death. So many people within the Convention were suspicious of each other that they began executing each other. Robespierre brought the execution of Danton, and then the other people within the Convention brought about the execution of Robespierre. Following his death the Jacobin Club was disbanded and its power was lost. The Convention then handed power to a group of five individuals who were known as the Directory. They were in power from 1794 to 1799 and were a group of elected officials. During this time, the French Army was wining wars against the foreign armies and in 1799, with the support of the military, Napoleon seized power of the Directory in a coup d etat. The new form of government was the Consulate made up of three consuls, with Napoleon being named the First Consul, and held real power because of his military backing. Three years later, Napoleon is named First Consul for life with a majority of the Consulate backing him. Two years later, Napoleon crowns himself Emperor of the French. Lesson Eight Within the first two years of his rule, Napoleon had accomplished much. He provided the voters with the benefits they had hoped to receive, defeated the Austrians, and persuaded the British and the Russians to make peace. By 1802 he had received so much support that it wasn t a surprise when he became consul for life and later, emperor in When Napoleon crowned himself emperor, he literally did it himself. He invited the pope, but felt even the pope was below himself. This was one example of his arrogance and personality. His two major goals as emperor were to create stability within France, and gain control of other countries by expanding his new empire. He conducted himself in the tradition of the Roman Emperors (it may be necessary to review these ideas from the Rome unit). One of his crowning achievements up to this point and one major reason of his popularity was due to his military genius and effectiveness as a leader, which allowed him to control people. Because of his military genius, his vision was to expand the French Empire into Russia. In 1812, Napoleon led his army of 450,000 into Moscow after a long campaign across Europe. During the campaign, the Russian army was forced to retreat a number of times, leaving Moscow open for Napoleon. In the early fall of 1812, Napoleon entered Moscow, only to find it was empty. Russians set fire to outskirts of Moscow, and Napoleon leaves it in ruins. The Russian army then comes into Moscow, forcing Napoleon to retreat with his army. He then found himself too far from home with too few troops and begins the long road home. In April of 1814, allied troops tired of Napoleon s actions, occupy Paris. Napoleon is forced to abdicate power, and is sent to Elba as an exile. By March of 1815, Napoleon is back in France and reunites with his loyal army. His goal now is to retake power from the allies. In June, he faced the English army headed by Wellington, along with the German army at the Battle of Waterloo in present day Belgium. Napoleon was defeated for the last time and sent to St. Helena in the South Atlantic Ocean and guarded continuously until his death in In 1840, his body is returned to Paris and it is buried in the fashion of the Roman Emperors.

Students should understand that the rich got richer while the poor got poorer. The students will see that there was no other option for the 3 rd Estate than to revolt and force change. The following directions are what should be said to students. Try to give as little direction as possible, but be sure to guide the students to the end result mentioned above.
