The Leve on Mass Was Not Just About Raising Troops

The leve on mass was a call to arms in the fall of 17 93. It quickly raised 300 thousand and eventually led to somewhere between 750 and 800 thousands frenchmen under arms by the end of the year. But those that did submit were doing so under very different circumstances than when the leve of 300000 was going around back in february. The fight wasn't just about raising troops, it was about putting everyone and everything to work to win the war.
