Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Correspondence of Jean-Baptiste Carrier: People´s Representative to the Convention; During His Mission in Brittnay, 1793-1794 Nantes was among the first of the great French towns to accept the new Republican Government. This port, situated near the mouth of the Loire, was the natural gateway to the insurgent departments of Morbihan and La Vendee. The revolted inhabitants of these regions, known under the generic and convenient appellation of "brigands," were in close alliance with the English fleet that blockaded the coast, and the emigres - that is, the nobles who had emigrated and were preparing to return to take service with the coalition against their country - residing in the Channel Islands; and in consequence became sources of great anxiety to the leaders of the Republic, which was as yet insecurely established at home and threatened from abroad. In 1793 the headquarters of the Generals of the Army of the West were fixed at Nantes, and various "Representatives on Mission" were sent thither by the Convention with proconsular powers over the Commune and the surrounding districts.
