Robespierre and The Reign Of Terror
"The Reign of Terror" was when the kings, queens, and jack lost their power and the people that took that power did not put it to a good use. The people set up the limited monarch and limited the power the royals had. With no one really in charge street gangs started to act like government officals. One gang called the Jacobins wanted to remove anyone that was related to the royal family or opposed them. They used an execution machine called the guillotine, they used this machine to killed the ones that believed differently than them. They also had the head of the king cut off in public. Robespierre was one of the people that believed that there should be no trace of the royal family. He changed everything like the calender and the days in the weeks because he believed that sunday was was a day about old religion. His ruling over france was called "The Reign of Terror". He was cutting of everyone's head and the people grew tired of this. The people used the way he execution and killed him.
