The Infernal Columns

12 army columns numbering about 65 thousand men were to march into the vonde with a single mission, exterminate the civilian population. Somewhere between 20 and forty thousand people were killed between january and may 17 94. None of those deaths are counted in the official reign of terror victims list because they were not processed by any sort of tribunal. They were just killed with guns, knives, clubs, torches, and presumably a few with bare hands. This ugly slaughter even turned the stomachs of the men carrying it out. And it is without a doubt, one of the most unjustifiably horrible things that happened in a decade full of unjustifiably terrible things.
