The Society of 1789 and the Jacobin Club

In the wake of this battle, miribeau and talleyrand both walked out of the jacobin club. The society of 17 89 then backed the abbe c s for the president's chair. But though the left had now split into two camps, that did not mean they disagreed on everything. After closing the debate on declarations of war, the national assembly returned to the question of the catholic church. Its lands had been taken by the nation. Its monastic orders had been suppressed; its tithes had been abolished. Now it was time to decide what would be built up to replace it.
