Freedom is the ability to stand up for what you believe in, even when the government says you’re wrong. ✊🏼

Jul 15, 1793: Currently imprisoned. You may think me a murderer, but I kill 1 to save 100,000. I speak for the ppl that terror must end. We can’t keep living in fear w ppl like Marat killing others for not enough extremism. This isn’t freedom. May France see #peace when I’m gone.

June, 1793: On behalf of Girondin refugees, I express concern for your #protection, and for the cause of freedom. 10/10 agree natural rights must be protected, and all people (and women) are #equal under god. Good Grace, I’ll defect some names to your paper in the name of France!

April 24, 1793: #ShotsFired by the #conservative Girondin faction 😨 But don’t worry, their party is falling apart after my political influences were ruled to be #innocent on the Revolutionary Tribunal. May France continue to be dominated by the #radical Montagnards!
