The National Assembly Completely Destroys the Feudal Regime

On august eleventh, the national assembly drew up a more sober version of the august fourth declarations. The decree made it clear that you could only get out from under your feudal obligations if you bought your way out. It would take years of fruitless pursuit of the required biouts to convince property holders to just give it up. By then, the revolution had taken a few more radical turns and the requirement for compensation was eventually dropped.
