Level 3 · 8 mo agoI don't view Danton as a moderate leader. He helped establish the very tribunal that killed him! He was just as responsible for the early violence.

Level 5 · 7 mo agoDanton predicting Robespierre would follow him was spot on. 💀 It is tragic how paranoia ruined everything they fought for. I would be too scared to trust anyone during that time.
