The French Revolution

I think that the peasants did a good job on attacking the castles and burning there dues and payments. Because the only ones that were getting affected of the higher taxes were the peasants. The wealth and the middle- class had the money to pay them, but the peasants where going through low income and unemployment. After all the people getting killed in the guillotine, I think it was a good idea that French revolutionaries wanted to start from scratch and looked to the future. Everyone began to see them selfs as belonging to a nation. When Napoleon imposed the end of feudalism, proclaiming equality of rights, religious tolerance, codifying the laws, and rationalizing government administration.
