The Vendée

1793–96 — Civil war between the Republic and a Catholic-royalist countryside kills perhaps 170,000–250,000 people, many in punitive “infernal columns.” Historians still argue what to call it. Remember.
This is one scene of Chapter 4 — The Republic in the Balance in The Age of Revolutions, 1775–1848.
