The Impact of the September Massacres

This chapter discusses the impact of the September massacres on the relationship between the Girondons and the radical cohorts of Paris during the French Revolution. It explains that the Girondons developed a deep distrust and fear of the city of Paris and its revolutionary actors after the massacres. Some Girondons believed that the bloodshed was meant to include them and suspected that Rob Spier and his allies in the Commune had tried to have them killed. This led to a definitive break between the Girondons and the Parisian radicals, preventing the Girondons from leading the capital and paving the way for the Montagnas and other revolutionary groups to take charge.
