About Georges Danton.

Georges Danton was born into a bourgeoisie family on October 28, 1759. His parents always wanted the best for him while growing up. He studied law in his home town but wanted to do something big and make a difference in people's lives. Georges did get his dream. He was one of the first revolutionary leaders to start the French Revolution. When he moved to Paris after many years of studying law, he grew deep into practicing his proffession. In 1785 he was known as a successful practitioner before the Parlement of Paris. In 1787 he married a women. Resources say that he purchased he for 80,000 livres.

A few years later in 1794 Georges Danton and Camille Desmoulins, the Cordelier Club leaders were trialed and beheaded. They were beheaded because of their efforts for trying to over throught the monarchy. Georges Danton was only 35 years old.

My Life.

Some People say that I'm one of the most important leaders of the French Revolution, I beg to differ. I saw that there was a problem in our government that needed help. When me and Camille Desmoulins got together and started the Cordelier Club, one of the popular clubs of the French Revolution, in 1790 to prevent the abuse of power and “infractions of the rights of man" all we did was try to help. People decided diferently, and we were both later beheaded.
Our club’s popular name was derived from its original meeting place in Paris, the nationalized monastery of the Cordeliers (Franciscans). It became a very big political force. I am sad that mine and Camille's jouney had to end. I know this French Revolution is going to turn out great for every one, one day.

Our Adventerous Son.

Georges,
Your father and I would most definatly agree that on October 28, 1759,was the happiest day of our life. Though we wished you to become a priest, your father and I understand that you prefer the law, and, after being educated in our native town and at Troyes, you went to Paris. We missed you of very much. We have heard through other bourgeois families that you have married. I beleive were told last year(1787). Well my son, I love you and so does your father. Please hurry home to visit!

Love, Momma and Papa

Execution.

Despite your charisma, you was unable to rein in the murderous factions in this movement. On Mar 29, 1794, you and your moderate followers were arrested, and all I remember you saying before your execution by guillotine at Paris, France, on Apr 5 was: “Show my head to the people. It is worth the trouble.” That right there has been tremeling through my head since you have said it.You Sir, are forever the French Revolution Hero in my eyes.

Sincerly,
A Peasant That Walked Among You.
