Charles-Louis Chassin

Charles-Louis Chassin , born in 1831, died in 1901, is a Historien French.

School-fellow of Jules Vallès with the royal college (current Georges Clémenceau college) of Nantes, it founds with him, with Paris, in 1850, the Committee of the Young people, which vainly tries to raise the Latin Quarter against the Coup d'etat of December 2nd, 1851. Opposing to the Second Empire, republican, free-thinker and anticlerical, it founds in 1868 - 1869, the Civil society of the Families Freed, which accommodates members through all France, but also in England, among the proscribed republicans.

It creates with Victor Hugo, Charles Lemonnier and Ange Guépin the international League for Peace and the Freedom, which militates in favor of the introduction of the United States d' Europe.

Raise Alphonse Aulard with the Sorbonne, friend of Jules Michelet, it specializes in the history of the French revolution. Between 1891 and 1900, it published 11 volumes of documents on the Guerre of the Vendée. In its account, which binds the documents, Chassin delivers a history directed in favor of the “Blue ones”, considering that rising does not have any popular origin and that they are simply a machination noble and priests, follow-ups blindly by an ignorant population. Hostile with the Terror, it justifies the war against this Contre-révolution, but not its excesses.
