What Happened in Nant?

The dead of nimes were the only other reported deaths in the whole of france during the july revolution. Southwestern france had been the epi centre of the great catholic and protestant wars of religion way back in the 15 hundreds. After the revolution, the protestants had come out of hiding, and many had since become prosperous merchants. When the restoration came though, battles that were over politics really boiled down to religion. The new white terror that followed the restoration usually took the form of catholics attacking their protestant neighbors. It was all pretty subdued during the three glorious days period of the julyrevolution.
