Girondins, Jacobins, and Sans-Culottes
Captions available
The idea
The anchor names none of them. The witness does: the Jacobin clubs split into Feuillants, who wanted the constitutional monarchy, Girondins, moderate republicans, and Montagnards, the Mountain, the radicals allied with the sans-culottes, the working-class Parisians who drove the Revolution forward.
In practice
Robespierre, Danton and Marat on the Mountain.
Where people slip
This entry rests on the witness texts, not the anchor.
