The Federalist Revolt in Paris

Bordeaux declared itself in insurrection against the national convention, which no longer represented them. Bordeaux then sent delegations out to other cities, calling on them all to first elect a shadow national convention that would meet anywhere but paris. This wave of declarations against paris has been dubbed the federalist revolt. But though they are now in revolt against radical paris, in many ways, the federalists were more revolutionary than the parisians.
