The Insurrection of 1832

A total of about three thousand men committed to action. Lafayette planned to give a stirring speech, but he had no interest in proclaiming a republic and had nothing at all to owith this brewing insurrection. Shouts started coming out of the crowd, down with louis philippe, down with the monarchy. Then rently, a man dressed all in black rode through the crowd on a horse, bearing a red flag that said, liberty or death.
