The Massacre of the Champ De Mars

When lafayette and his national guard moved back in to halt the rolly, he announced that paris was under martial law. He was greeted by jeer insults and then by flying rocks. The radical press denounced the massacre of the champ de mars and called for lafayette's head. And when jean silvaine bayy was hauled out of retirement and led the guillotine in november 17 93, it would be for his role in ordering the massacrethat he was convicted. Next week, those truly committed to the monarchy will decide that they had to sever all ties with their more radical colleagues.
