Termidor and the Revolutionary Royalists

After thermidor, the object is not to push the revolution further, but to draw back from it as safely as possible. And in total, i count five of these focused swings over the next few years. The first of these was obviously the move against the left after termidor the muskedan were set out to work on the jacobins. After defeating this insurrection from the right, the directory was inaugurated and tried to make common cause with all men of republican values. This is the moment when you really start seeing a rewriting of the revolutionary narrative, and the first attempt to distinguish between the good revolution of 17 89 and the bad revolution of 17 92.
