Carrier's Infernal Columns Are Not Even Getting Rolling Yet

Jean baptiste carrier was despatched as representative on mission to nant with near absolute authority over the three vande departments that had been in revolt. Carrier appears to have arrived in nants with nothing but cold blooded brutality in his heart, a brutality directed most especially at the local clergy. He ordered carpenters to rig floating barges so that they could be sunk at will. On november nineteenth, 90 priests were hog tied and led on to the barge. The barge was then floated a distance out into the loire, the plugs were pulled and the barge sunk, drowning the struggling prisoners.
