Fighting for the End of Injustice

I was known as Gabin.  I lived in Paris, only two districts away from the terrific Bastille. My only roommates were the only seven friends I had, and we worked in a wheat field as peasants. We were part of the Third Estate, which contained all of the unprivileged and the peasants. We worked extremely hard for our own lives, yet something I never stop regretting happens to bring me imprisoned in the horrific Bastille…

Continuity:

The French Revolution was a tremendously significant event of French History, yet many aspects of the country remained the same. People often call the Revolution “Years of Blood”, showing how violence and mass killings had continued to happen throughout these homicidal years, which is something very common in revolutions. Key events with mass killings include the September Massacres and the Reign of the Terror. Moreover, Roman Catholicism existed during the entire Revolution. Catholicism still remained the main religion for most of the time in the years of the Revolution. These two were what stayed the same from prior Revolution to after Revolution.

Change:

Regardless of all the similarities compared to pre-Revolution, the Revolution has brought life-changing modifications to the country.  One of the outstanding changes we have succeeded to make was equality over the population.  The Declaration of Rights of Man was evident for this and it demonstrated that the law was superior to anything else. It ensured that everyone was born to, unlike before, be treated equally, and ended many nobles’ rights. Additionally, the Revolution had established democracy, which meant that the monarchy no longer existed and feudalism was abandoned. The Execution of the King was a great example of this evolution, because from that moment Louis XVI no longer had a head, no one came to dictate the country and its people, and the new yet stronger democratic government was established. These two changes have acted as evidence as our hard work throughout the entire battle for our own goods, and shown how peasants can also change the country, or even the world.
