Arguably, it became a script in history, and a template used by revolutionaries in the years that followed.]]> 2017-01-17 02:20:40 UTC https://padlet.com/sarah_ronayne/r3kfy6adcve5/wish/147437422 sarah_ronayne https://padlet.com/sarah_ronayne/r3kfy6adcve5/wish/147437571 The Revolution was celebrated through songs, engravings, poems, paintings, music, and literature. The French author Chateaubriand wrote a book denouncing the revolution; philosophers continue to debate and write about The Revolution. Many famous authors of the 1800s, including Charles Dickens, Victor Hugo, and Anatole France, wrote of the French Revolution. French cinema portrayed and struggled with the French Revolution well into the mid -1900s. Libraries and museums today house thousands of engravings, ribbons, flags, clothing, and more from the French Revolution. This continues to keep The Revolution relevant and alive.]]> 2017-01-17 02:23:28 UTC https://padlet.com/sarah_ronayne/r3kfy6adcve5/wish/147437571 sarah_ronayne https://padlet.com/sarah_ronayne/r3kfy6adcve5/wish/147439607 Those who opposed The Revolution created lasting effects. The political controversy that surrounded The Revolution created room for debate, and thus different beliefs formed. The development of conservatism is visible during this time; there was a belief that it is better for gradual, slow, calm change, rather than a dramatic shift. This was argued by Edmund Burke, among others. Burke wrote "Reflections on the Revolution in France" to publicize these views. 
"Anti-philosophies" continued to spawn from The Revolution, with the event being described as "monstrous."]]> 2017-01-17 02:57:54 UTC https://padlet.com/sarah_ronayne/r3kfy6adcve5/wish/147439607 sarah_ronayne https://padlet.com/sarah_ronayne/r3kfy6adcve5/wish/147440048 Paine wrote "Rights of Man: Being an Answer to Mr. Burke's Attach on the French Revolution." He argues that using reason for government is a valid choice. He argued that a good government must have a constitution which guaranteed the natural rights of all men; through this belief, Great Britain did not truly have a constitution. Selling more than 200,000 copies, this writing became the most popular political polemic in English history.]]> 2017-01-17 03:05:26 UTC https://padlet.com/sarah_ronayne/r3kfy6adcve5/wish/147440048 sarah_ronayne https://padlet.com/sarah_ronayne/r3kfy6adcve5/wish/147440345 Burke's writing led to a response by Mary Wollstonecraft, called "A Vindication of the Rights of Women." She argues that women must be educated in the same manner as men in order to become "virtuous citizens." At the time, it was met with a storm of controversy; today, it is considered tame and mundane. That in itself proves the residual effect of feminism, which originated during the French Revolution. ]]> 2017-01-17 03:11:20 UTC https://padlet.com/sarah_ronayne/r3kfy6adcve5/wish/147440345 sarah_ronayne https://padlet.com/sarah_ronayne/r3kfy6adcve5/wish/147440556 Ideologies, a word originally coined during The Revolution, means a doctrine about what is arguably the best form of political and social organization. Prior the the French Revolution (with the exception of the United States), almost everywhere was ruled by a hereditary monarchy. However, The Revolution proposed various alternatives in the form of ideologies; these include nationalism, liberalism, socialism, communism, etc. A republic had been set up in France, and now government needed reason and justification. ]]> 2017-01-17 03:14:44 UTC https://padlet.com/sarah_ronayne/r3kfy6adcve5/wish/147440556 sarah_ronayne https://padlet.com/sarah_ronayne/r3kfy6adcve5/wish/147441333 Beginning in France, nationalism eventually spread to various other countries through the armies of Napoleon. Some countries used it as a justification to defy French rule and control. Spreading to Austria, Russia, Ireland, Vietnam, and everywhere in between, nationalism became a motivation for national liberation and independence. 
Some nationalists, such as Mazzini, argued that nationalism should be used to protect the poor. Others, such as Fourier, said that there should be a continuation of the legacy of the revolution, but that the violence needed to be stopped.]]> 2017-01-17 03:29:10 UTC https://padlet.com/sarah_ronayne/r3kfy6adcve5/wish/147441333 sarah_ronayne https://padlet.com/sarah_ronayne/r3kfy6adcve5/wish/147441719 Opposition was influenced by the religious people of France, which was primarily Catholic; the very religious viewed the French Revolution as evil and savage. Critics, such as Joseph de Maistre a Guastave Le Bon, highlighted the violence and evils of The Revolution. This desire to return to religion, which had been outlawed during some of The Revolution, was then paired with nativism, which argued that there should not be equality for incoming Jews and immigrants. This was argued by Charles Maurras, who said that France needed to return to its religion and nationalism. ]]> 2017-01-17 03:37:25 UTC https://padlet.com/sarah_ronayne/r3kfy6adcve5/wish/147441719 sarah_ronayne https://padlet.com/sarah_ronayne/r3kfy6adcve5/wish/147441988 Socialists and communists had a positive outlook on the French Revolution, viewing it as an indication of more reform and change to come in the future. Others felt that The Revolution was incomplete, and needed to be continued and intensified. Both Karl Marx and Friedrich Engels looked back on The Revolution, looking for answers and examples.]]> 2017-01-17 03:42:32 UTC https://padlet.com/sarah_ronayne/r3kfy6adcve5/wish/147441988 sarah_ronayne https://padlet.com/sarah_ronayne/r3kfy6adcve5/wish/147442288 With the publishing of engravings and art from The Revolution, the events that occurred were impossible to forget or ignore. New revolutionary governments began to spread their ideas and messages through propaganda; every part of life was infiltrated to spread and infect people with The Revolution. ]]> 2017-01-17 03:46:54 UTC https://padlet.com/sarah_ronayne/r3kfy6adcve5/wish/147442288
