French Government officials shouldn’t be sending out military drafts to kill their own people, let alone rid the French citizens of their freedom of…

While he was seen as insane by many and even falsely named Noah, he proved an entire town wrong even with his little to no formal standard education. An entire town vs one man with speculations about a levee seems like a good situation to choose flight over fight. Even with odds stacked against him, his child being caught up in many brawls because of it, and a fresh new biblical title him showed an entire civilization that he didn’t need a college degree…

Many citizens did not want to give up the monarchy French had. Other citizens rebelled against the “levee en masse”, a military draft in Vendee (Doc C).

These events caused the citizens to revolt against the local government (Doc…
