Some Clear Thinking About the Riots in Ireland
by Simon Black Sovereign Man
On Sunday March 10, 1793, in the village of Pin-en-Mauges in western France, a prominent local textile vendor named Jacques Cathelineau was peacefully enjoying his Sunday afternoon, when five men suddenly appeared to deliver urgent news.
Cathelineau could probably read their faces and knew what happened before anyone said a word.
By the spring of 1793, the French Revolution had been in full swing for nearly four years, and the entire nation was in chaos.
King Louis XVI and his family were executed two months prior, and the country was now being run by a faction of left-wing radicals under Maximilien Robespierre.
